I did something that wasn't the brightest about two or three years ago. Basically the power was on and I hooked up my s video. Now the port is burned out and it would be a waste to purchase a new motherboard for my notebook. Is there any other way to directly link my computer to the television, perhaps an adapter for some other port. I know it isn't likely. I have an infrared port, high speed and dial up ports, several usb ports, and a video port for a monitor.

Hi Guys,
I've connected my pc to my tv using RCA (my tv only has RCA input, no S-Video). Everything works fine as either a clone or separate/extended screen EXCEPT that it's in black and white. The strange part about this is that when I first boot up there is color, even as Windows XP loads...but then as the screen blackens to enter Windows it goes black and white.
My pc remains in color but my tv does not. This has me to believe there is something wrong with my settings since the color only disappears once in Windows. However, I have tried everything from lowering color and resolution to changing the color on the tv settings. No luck. Even the folks at Radio Shack couldn't help me out.
I have an nvidia GeForce4 MX440 and am running Windows XP. I have even downloaded nvidia display software and have messed with color settings in that. Nothing seems to be helping.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time and patience,
Dan

Hi Matthew,
I think I found a solution for my problem with this, so, probably, I could help you.
Are you connecting the S-video cable from your PC to the S-video socket in your TV or SCART or RGB ?
The three signals are different and don?t mix. If your TV does not have all three different Line-In sockets, a simple cable that is s-video at the one end and something else at the other will not do the trick.
If your TV doesn?t have s-video in, you need a special adaptor that can be bought from a company called Keene electronics and is based in Liverpool (if you are in the UK). You can find them thru google.
Let me know if this helped.
George

Guys, for those of you with Nvidia cards and colour problems try TVTools (http://tvtool.info/index_e.htm) doesn't cost much and you shouldn't have colour problems again.
In return, do you all work with just your TV connected. Whenever I boot with nothing connected to my VGA, (I have the TV through s-vid), I don't get a picture to my TV. I need to have my CRT connected for the picture to go to s-vid.?? Am I being simple and missing something. I have an nvidia (ti4200) on XP. I'm pulling my hair out..what little I have left.!!

Hi everyone..
I'm not if somebody has actually address this problem but I'm going to ask anyway coz I'm running out of ideas!
Here's my prob..
I've got a Laptop (Fujitsu Siemens AMILO D 1840) with ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 on it. Just bought a Panasonic TV (TX28PM1) few days ago. Both have got S-Video on it (4 pins), [at the back of the laptop and in front of the TV (AV3)]. When I connect them together with an S-Video cable all I got was a clear black and white picture/screen on the TV (no colour). I've no problem with the sound. I have tried using the S-Video to Composite converter but still get the same thing (no colour). But when I tried connecting my Sony Handycam to the TV directly via the same S-Video cable it works just fine. I've tried all available settings on the Display Settings (PAL B, D, G ... I.. NTSC etc) but still no colour!! All I got was the same black and white screen on the TV. I've also tried connecting my laptop to a Philips TV and the same thing happen. Is my graphics card not compatible with my TV or there is something else that I have not done?? I'm sure there is someone out there with the same problem as mine.
PLEASEEEE HELPPP MEEEEEE..... TQ!

I wish to transfer all my old analog camcorder films & vhs fims to pc, to eventually write to dvd.
I've captured analog video from a camcorder using rca connections both ends. My problem is when I try & do the same with a scart adaptor to my video recorder(for french tv), I am unable to capture nothing, blank screen on capture software. Do you know whether a scart/rca adaptor is compatibale with vhs to pc capture?

most likely you are pluggin the s-video cable into the output plug on the dvd player. it wont work. most DVD players dont have any output plugs. thats why your screen is not coming up.

Has anyone purchased a s vid cable from svideo.com. I was searching for a cable and found their site. I just wanted to make sure it is a legit biz/site. I checked NE and TD for a 7 pin s video + audio to a 3 RCA to no avail. I was wondering if someone had a link to a site that sold a S-Video + Audio to 3 RCA that went up to 50 feet long. I know you are not supposed to advertise so if its not cool to post please pm me. Thanx

Yo What up Fimpen,
What are the specs of your computer as in the manufacturer, your s video connection (4 or 7 pin), what operating system your using, and what kind of connection to your tv are you using. I think I may have some links to help you out.

For all you out there that have a problem with connecting your pc with a tv...
If everything is right and you have connected pc-tv right and your having problems like i had.. that was that on the tv screen thetv was blank and the pc couldn't recognize the tv...
Answer: Put down the resolution of the pc screen to 800 x 600. after that, check if the pc found the tv...if not then restart the pc.

Im glad to hear you got it working.
Hey, did you change your windows screen resolution or your ATI mode setting? The ATI card, drivers and software I have are kinda old. I was wondering if there was a TV option or second monitor option that you could change while in the advanced tab in your display settings. This way you would not have to go back and change the resolution everytime you go from your pc to your tv. You could set monitor 1 as default high res. and then have monitor 2 at either 640x480 or 800x600.

Any advice?
I've connected my Thinkpad T42 with an s-video to scart cable. I get a color image on the TV of the wallpaper image on my Laptop - but no icons or applications when I open them - just the wallpaper image. I also get the screensaver when this kicks in. Any ideas?

wow i didnt actually cover what to do after you set the whole thing up
...oppps
well what you have is the extended screen which means that you can drag things from your primary screen (on laptop) to the tv
that includeds icons, programs ..anything
then you can maximize movies/visuals (like on winamp) there
also if you only drag half(enough for the picture to goto the tv) onto the tv you can keep the controls on the laptop ...great for controling whats on the tv w/o takin it of of fullscreen
--ill clean this and add it to my page proly tomorrow
thnx for the heads up

Hey guys, I have been looking all over and can't find an answer to my question. Please...somebody help me. Ok. Now, I have a SONY PCV-W700G and it has a
s-video port. My SONY television also has a s-video port, or connection. I bought a s-video cable and connected my pc to my tv. Nothing happened. I don't know what to press or if i need any other connections ecxept audio. Can somebody please tell me what I need, or what I need to press. Thanks in advance! Also, I don't think buying and type of chip or video card would be smart because my pc is very small and I'm not sure I would find one for my pc that would fit. It's a desktop. Thanks, please reply.
