PaulAllen Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Most laptops have an S-Video out connector that you can use to connect to a TV so that you can send the video from your computer to the TV if you want to watch a movie or whatever. However, a friend of mine and I cannot get our's to work. We plug it into the TV and send the video out and TV blinks for a second but no picture comes up. We've tried two different computers and two different cables so we're pretty sure it is the TV's. Has anyone else had any experience with this and have some advice?

PaulAllen Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yea, I know how to send the video to my S-video out. The problem I am having is no picture is appearing. And yes I have the TV on the right channel (Video 1). I am wondering if Asian TV's have a different something or another that is making it not work. I'm fairly good at this kind of thing but cannot understand why it isn't working here. PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koheesti Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I used my laptop for this in Europe no problem. Plug in the S-video+S-cart cable and press Fn+4. Great, watched movies every week for a couple years. Now, I come to Samui and after trying a couple diff cables all I get is a quick flicker on the screen and nothing else.

Has anyone else had any experience with this and have some advice? Thanks, PA I use this connection to my TV ( s-video). This is what I have to do. Connect the laptop to the TV first if I do not I will only get audio I am using a Dell so I go to graphics property and choose dual display (primary TV secondary laptop) The point is hooking it up only will not get you video and F8 DOES NOT WORK. I have to change the graphics prperties. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
