I use an external monitor on my HP laptop and it has always made me mad that newer HP laptops don't have screw-holes to screw in the VGA cable. When I plug in the cable, I just have to let it sit there and anytime I move even a little bit, it falls out. I tried ducktape, but the sticky side melted and my entire room smelled like glue for a week. Does anyone have any experience dealing with this problem, any solutions?
