Hi,
I managed to purhcase a VGA-to-RCA cable. Attached the RCA end to my JVC InteriArt Musee TV and the VGA to my HP pavillion laptop. Nothing happens, even if I selected the corresponding video channel on my JVC TV. Any advice?

I was recently given a Dell Inspiron N5030 notebook. I have a Sylvania flat screen tv and am trying to figure out how to connect the two. There is no s-output port on the laptop, and I am completely computer illiterate, so I can only describe the ports that I do have, 3 USB, one that looks like it’s for a phone line, and a VGA connector. Is there a way to do this? My television has an s-video port on it as well as 2 usb and the usual yellow, white & red cords. I’m completely confused. please help!

i am connecting my laptop (compaq v3619TU Windows 7) to TV using the S-video. however, a prompt message appears and says “graphic display has problem and successfully recovered”(not the exact words) and then it undergoes blinking several times until a blue screen stating a problem occurred and so on then it restarts without seeing my screen on the TV. I’m also pressing the Fn + F4 however nothing changes..pls help me. I really need it badly. Thank yoi

I have connected my HP Pavilion tx 2000 to a Sony LCD TV (32BX300) using a S-Video and audio port. The issue is I could watch the screen after choosing my display as TV however the screen is in black and white picture mode.

Can someone help me resolve this problem????

Hi all, I own a toshiba satellite l550 laptop. I’m just wondering whether I can connect my laptop to a tv (an old tv, not a flat screen or anything sophisticated). I’ve looked in the manual and the only thing I find closest to connection to a tv is a hdmi socket. Can anyone please advise me whether I can use this socket to connect my laptop to my tv? Please bear in mind I’m a complete technology idiot. Thanks all!
