S-Video to VGA Adapter Recommendation

[GwenButler]

Greetings!
Me again.

My current configuration uses S-Video cables and in order to incorporate a newly acquired laptop I need an S-Video to VGA adapter that is easy to use.

I recently purchased one that I thought would be acceptable (see attached), however, due to pin alignment, it seems as though I would have to apply excessive pressure to connect the adapter and I do not want to risk pin damage to my S-Video cable my using it.

Does anyone have an alternative recommendation?

Any and all advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gwen

Is it the VGA end that won't match your computer or the S-video that won't match your existing s-video lead ?

Roy,
Thanks for your response.

I am having trouble fitting the S-video portion of the adapter into my existing S-video cables.

I am wondering if there are any other options for this need that are better suited, fit-wise.

Gwen

Are there more pins on your existing s-video lead ? There are 2 types of s-video leads 4 pin & 7 pin as shown hear: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=s-...w=1117&bih=591

Is your existing the 7 pin type ?

Do you not have a 4 pin video lead to try it with ?
I think the 4 pin is the most common.

Otherwise you will have to find a 7 pin version of adapter, or just connect via the ordinary AV out yellow with a normal rca video lead.

I have a 4 pin s-video lead.

Thanks.

I actually use one of these:

Should be able to find the same type on your local amazon.
