Re: Dell laptop serial port

Edit: It's quite possible they are still available on other dell laptops. The D510s that we bought are literally brand new.

If the model is dis-continued try checking there Dell Outlet Store where they keep all the "Refurbished, Brand New / Sent Back or Cosmetically damaged but Fully Functional Laptops" at. I'm pretty sure you can find that model or many others with the DB9 Port such as the Dell Inspirion 8500 or the D510 mentioned above.
