Simple, really. Well at least, it should be. My laptop was dropped once upon a time and the USB ports do not work. Instead of paying lots of money to repair a usb port or attempting to do it myself and screwing something else up I figured I'd just buy an adapter piece(probably a vga one) but I ran into a problem.
All the adapters I found for vga, hdmi etc are to male USBs, yet I need a female USB so I can plug my mouse into it. Does anyone know of where I might be able to get one? Online or otherwise. Failing that, I could get an additional adapter that lets me plug a male usb into a male usb, but I wanted to confirm that an adapter piece would run off an adapter piece before I sunk some money into it. Or even that a VGA/HDMI adapter into a usb would work for a mouse. To be clear, my set up would be: VGA/HDMI to male USB > Female to Female USB Adapter > Male USB mouse. I'm also open to any other suggestions that might be easier for me to be able to use a mouse with my laptop. I don't have a PCMCIA port so that's out of the potential options.
Any help would be much appreciated~
