Exactly. You can get HDMI cables anywhere that sells TVs: WalMart, Target, Best
Buy, Roses, probably Home Depot, Lowes, CVS & Walgreens too, besides computer shops.

Your new VGA cable could be worse than the old one. Some displays need a cable
with all 15 pins good. Cheaper cables only use 14.

The retaining screw sockets for VGA connectors sometimes come loose. When they do,
it's possible for them to prevent the cable from being completely connected unless
you screw them back in or remove them.
