    VGA Cable DOES NOT FIT in ASUS VIVOBOOK Laptop with HDMI Cable connected - as in there’s not enough space to fit both of them.
    What can I do to overcome this?
    I saw a video where the Youtuber cut the connector to make it fit (

    ).
    Is cutting the VGA Cable connector safe?
    Did anyone get it to work successfully?

    Hello

    It should be safe to use, just don’t move your laptop around as the vga cable will come loose without the screws..

      speaking from experience, I have had to cut off the screw tabs on occasion, completely fine, just don’t cut too deep, stay away from the main body of the plug, just cut the cylindrical portion of the screw chamber and the square edges at the base.
