Hi,
Has your laptop got any tv-output on it? composite or s-vid.

If so, grab the apropriate lead, or buy if you dont have one, then get a 3.5mm jack to 2 phono lead and plug that in your headphone socket.

Then get a scart plug with inputs for composite/s-vid/phono and connect them all in and plug it into a scart input on tv. Select av1 or av2 and there you have it.

You may need to set tv out settings on your latop and that will vary from one to another, but usally under display settings.

Some tvs also have the apropriate sockets on the front, so you may not need a scart adapter. All the leads should only set you back a few quid each.

hope it helps.

Cheers.
