Well, it would apear that my s video out is bad. thats the only conclusion I come to. I got my new cables and they produced the same results... Looks like I have to go with my vga out for now.

So the next question is.... what laptop do I get?$?$?$

you can get a pc to tv converter (not to be confused with tv to pc converter ) this has a vga to rca/s-video out..you can get it form www.eitech.com , you can connect your laptops vga ( out )to the vga (in ) of the converter and use either the rca or the s-video (out ) of the converter to the tv/lcd..

Mike, I feel your pain. Just something to try. In the video settings, switch the primary/secondary display. See if this changes anything. Also, try switching the position of the display to the left/right. Don't ask me why this sometimes works, I just have had success with it in the past.

Does it work with a regular TV (non-LCD)?
Are you going from the SVideo to Composite RCA jacks (3) or to a single Video RCA jack?

I went straight to the tv using just the s vid cable and then using an s vid to RCA converter
Hey Mike,
I think Dale is going to suggest that you use an S-Video to RCA adapter. Is this what you tried in post #1?

Jim
