Penny Radio Shack or a computer repair person should have something that will do the job. Just show them what you have already or maybe the model of the computer so they can get you a replacement. I don't like spending money on repairs but darn it I hate "feeling" like I am playing on computer junk even though you can work it just fine. Do you have your plants layout or plant data on your computer? Have you ever tried a computer program for you plants?
