However you need to then select AV on the tv. |

| 823496 | 2009-10-23 23:32:00 | Yep, then you may need to hit a hot key(eg Fn+F5) on your laptop to output to an external screen. An alternative could also be a VGA Signal Converter box, but the above would be cheaper and easier to set up. Blam |

| 823497 | 2009-10-24 04:11:00 | Thank you all so much for your replies, I think I will give the s-video to vga a shot first and if that doesnt work .... will try a converter box. (take the cheapest first) :) Have a great weekend :) | Kaycee (14727) | ||
