Thanks TheRrippa, now i also have color :)
But i still have one small problem, when i leave the piece of metal that connects the top pins in it, it won't recognize that a tv is attached on the next boot. So i have to remove it, then connect the cable to my pc, then it recognizes a tv is attached, so i can enable extended desktop, and afterwards put the piece of metal back in.
Is there a way to avoid removing the piece of metal all the time?
Hi
The advice didn't work for me (ATI X800). The strangest is that I didn't have problem with the Radeon 7500 and the 9200.
I tried all (s-video=>composite cable=> s-video adapter on the peritel TV, s-video=>s-vdeo cable=>svideo...) with and without the 2 upper pins of the s-video cable connected. I tried all the format (PAL, NTSC...)
It's boring me. Why did it work with the others Radeon card ??
Do you have an other advice in your hat ? :p
I try again and now it works. Maybe a bad connection between the 2 pins.
Thx.
Hey everyone:
I have somewhat of the same problem. Like everyone else, my TV screen is showing up a black and white image of my desktop. However, this is the way im connecting:
There's an s-video output port on the back of my laptop. The port has 7 pins. That goes into an adaptor w/ 7 pins that looks like this: http://www.notebooksrus.com/dell_lat...ctv_70tvd.html
It's pretty self explainatory where I go from there...I put a yellow connector into the yellow on the adaptor and the other end goes into the yellow on my TV (for sound I have a different cable).
Everything was fine until a few months ago. All of the sudden...WHAM...color disappeared. Ive replaced every part to make sure it wasnt any of them but there is _still_ no color. So I've concluded that there is some setting on my computer that got screwed up for some reason. Ive gone through my graphics card settings (nVidia GeForce 4) but I cant find anything.
Any ideas?
-evil
Please can somebody help. I have a Dell Latitude c640, I have connected a s-video to scart, crossed the pins, got colour, but desktop is split over laptop and tv screen. How can i get the image from my laptop to appear on the tv the same.:confused:
You need to "Clone" your desktop to the tv... this you can do through the ATI icon in control panel (or it might be down near the clock as well).
Hi Guys,
I just rediscovered this thread after a number of years and thanks, you've all done my ego the world of good, thanks ;-)
If any of you are using different forms of connections other than SVideo to Scart (via an adapter) and my trick of linking the top two pins doesn't work then it is likely one of the other possibilities I mentioned in my other post, please flick backwards in this thread to find it.
If you are having problems linking the svideo pins, note that you only need to link them at one end of the cable or the other so if your cable is only svideo at one end, you can link it there. Also, I used thin fusewire and wrapped it around the two top pins in a figure-of-eight which seemed to work well. When you push this plug into the socket, the fusewire just gets pushed to the base of the pins which is fine. Just make sure it doesn't touch the other pins ;-)
