Laptop to TV
By lavan_n_19 •
I am trying to view videos in my TV by connecting my laptop thro S-video cable 7 pin . My TV screen remains blank after connecting the cable. I am not getting the source in the menu of the TV. Can somebody tell me, should i change any settings in my laptop????
Dear have you select AV mode in TV ? ignore if you done so.
Once connected, press Fn-key & F5-key (usually for laptops). You will see choices of selecting laptop screen, both or TV screen - make your choice.
If Fn and F5 are not keys for you than look key with screen signs on it among the F1 to F12 keys (ussually at the top fo your keyboard.
If this doesn't work than on you desktop (in an empty space) right click - in the menu that appers select personalize or properties. If you are using vista than on left side click on "listing you will see connect to project....." and do the need full.
Hope it works.
hey thanks , i got it. by fn key and f8. but everything is in black and white in my TV. and the resolution of my laptop has also changed. is it any problem ???
Every Mo .. It depends on your laptop! F6 on my Dell locks the PC whereas F4 switches video outputs.
u have to open the port......... keep the fn button pressed and then press f6 on your keyboard.
hope it works....
There could be many things to this.
try following
Some laptops require you to press one of the F1 F2 F3 etc keys in order to get the screen shifted.
Check the cable it can be faulty too
The source in TV should be there anyways, check your TV book let
Happy Watching
