Help my rf cable broke that connects my laptop to my antenna!!?

Question

please help! i recently bought a dell laptop and got the tv tuner option which is great unfortunately the little RF cable (i think that's what it's called) that connects the laptop card to the outside antenna broke the first time i used it. dell doesn't sell any replacement cables, what do i do? does anyone know where i can get a replacement?

Answer 1

It's most likely a standard coaxial (coax) cable.  Both ends the same? A copper wire in the center of a quarter-inch diameter metal connector?  If so, take it to your nearest Radio Shack or the equivalent and they should have one there.

In fact, even if it's not that, take it there and see if they can help.

Hope that helps.
