Broken Physical serial Port

Hi people, here, my simple electronic/hardware question :

It's possible to take a serial port from one motherboard and put it in other
motherboard, my serial port it's failing.

Welcome to HWF

That would only be possible if you're very good at soldering. But I would suggest to purchase a separate serial port which can be inserted into one of the expansions slots, like this one: VSCOM Serial Card PCI Low Profile, 1 port RS-232 PCI-RS232LP1 LOW PRICE $27.98
Alternatively there are also external serial ports available to connect to a USB port.

 

What do you use the serial port for ?

 

RHochstenbach, first thanks for your reply, , I'm not good at soldering, but an electronic engineer must do it, I live in Cuba so the option of buy that card isn't for me. About that external serial port via usb it's interesting, thank you.
