Hey all,

i have a HP dv4 1220us laptop. (http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/NB199UA%2523ABA?)

It has a infrared port that is used for the remote control that came with the laptop. (has no software to use IR for other connections)

I wanted to know if i could use this port for Infrared connections? As i have several old phones that use IR but not blue tooth :(

Do you know if there is anyway to activate this port to be used for other device connections too?

Would be a lot cheaper than buying connection cables.

I'm not sure whether the IR port on the laptop can send data if it is only meant to be used with remote control, ie it could only have an IR receiver/detector and not an emitter.
