-I have a Dell XPS L502X with no VGA port :|
-I have a 20/21" Samsung LED Monitor at home which has no HDMI port :|
-I have a HDMI to VGA connector

Now the problem is that when I connect my laptop to my monitor with that connector it doesn't works. It is because of something like "conversion of analog to digital signal cant be done with only a cable"? I'm not sure and don't have any idea of whats wrong with the connection.
May be with your help I could enjoy movie on a relatively bigger screen. So please help me :)

^^ I think You need an active adapter like this :
Cable Matters Active HDMI to VGA Male to Female Adapter with 1 Metre USB Power Cable in White: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

If it's DDR3L [ 1.35v ] and the timings and speed are all same it should work .. BTW, a little correction to my previous post : mobile haswell cpus does not support 1.5v memory modules.

Whoa whoa!! I'm facing exactly the same problem. But in my case I opened the laptop and found that the hole in the back panel which holds hinge's screw was broken. So I need to replace the entire back panel. This problem started when my laptop was in warranty and I never paid attention to it. Now I need to shell out 1600 bucks. :banghead:

mine happened when it was in warranty but that was extended warranty.. extended warranty does not cover accidental damage protection so this physical damage is not covered.. if you have g6 2005 ax then i think you must be still in extended warranty right ?

Me too. I neglected it assuming nothing worse can happen. Now i have to shell out 1800 bucks for the technician to repair it.



Update:

Also... Did you replace the body or repaired it somehow?
