laptop computer connection tv s-video / rca cable

I want to connect my laptop to my tv so I can watch movies from my laptop on my tv.

I have an Inspiron 700 m mobile and a symphonic TV.  The TV does not have a s video port, just the rca (red, white, and yellow) port.  My laptop has s video port.  So I purchased a s-video / rca cable to connect the two, but it didn't work.  I don't think the laoptop reconizes the tv.  Every time I did something on the laptop, the TV would flicker a few times. Can someone give me instructions step by step on how to connect the two.  I'm kind of a computer dummy so I don't know much; If detailed step by step direstions would be great.  Thank you!

    Get the best display on your monitor

    Connect your computer to a TV

    You can also try to update the latest version of the drivers on the site Web of Toshiba display adapter and check.

  • Direct print from laptop computer connection

    I have a laptop HP with windows 7 32 bit and the designjet 650 c B model with an installed direct jet card, so I a usb converter cable network I want to print from a usb port or from the port of network cable. I just want to know what is called the port that I use? Help, please!

    You have a wireless router?  I have a Designjet 650 c connected to my router with a LAN cable, can I access the 650 c of my HP laptop wireless via the router.

    If you follow this path, you will get an IP address for the Designjet 650 c by selecting Prev in the menu until you get to the entrance, the top menu can go down three times for installing I/O, entry, entry (modular), entrance (network Cfg = >), down Yes, Prev, Prev, Prev, entrance, entry, down arrow twice for utilities Entry, arrow down twice for Config plot, Enter.

    That you select the jetdirect card like I/O device, get an IP address from the router and then print a configuration page that displays the IP address to halfway to the bottom of the page.

    On laptop computer click Start, devices and printers, do a right-click on the Designjet 650 c, printer, port properties, add a Port, Port TCP/IP Standard, new Port, following, then enter the IP config page printed.  For me, it comes to 192.168.1.13.  Enter the appropriate value, Next, Finish.

    If you do not have a router then consider making an inexpensive wireless router that could be wired to the Designjet and wireless for the laptop.  It would probably be a much better solution than to try to make a converter USB - lan.

  • Satellite P300 - 18 M - VGA to S-video / RCA cable - no picture on the TV

    Hello

    First of all, I am trying to use my other laptop (Dell Lattitude D630) I have with my TV, however, this other laptop has only a VGA output.

    So I bought a VGA adapter S-video and RCA e - Bay: [photo: http://members.lycos.co.uk/jtfearnley/Hosting/Images/RCA%20To%20S-Video%20RCA.jpg]
    However, this does not work, the laptop in question has 'TV Out through VGA', so it should work according to various Web sites and the seller...

    However, I then tried to test it with my Satellite P300 - 18M and it does not work with this, I tried the composite (yellow port) and S-video port, in three different TV, and there is no picture.

    I tried to change settings in the ATI Catalyst Control Center, for example, force TV detection and it detects the TV, but there is no picture on the TV, only the gray lines.

    If I cange the resolution and refresh rate I can kind of get an image: [image TV | http://members.lycos.co.uk/jtfearnley/Hosting/Images/TV.jpg]
    But it's the best thing.

    In the past, I have used all three TVs with my P300 using direct S-video, so I don't understand why it will not work with this card.

    Also, I know this isn't a forum for Dell, but I am not a Member here, and this question is also on my Toshiba laptop, because it would be useful to be able to use instead of S-video RCA adapter.

    Thank you

    Hello

    To my knowledge the VGA port can be used only in connection with an external monitor/LCD but not with the TV.
    The point is that the common PAL TV (not LCD or plasma) supports a maximum resolution of 720 X 576px 50 Hz (NTSC 720 X 480 at 60 Hz).

    As far as I know that the s-video port provides such a resolution.
    The VGA port offers higher resolutions are supprted by more external monitors.

    However, I never connected the laptop to the TV via the VGA port so I can provide only some assumptions.

    Sure, it might be possible that the S-video and RCA adapter VGA is not fully compatible.
    I read on the different pages that at low cost without name adapters don't work as it should.

  • Laptop can connect wirelessly, but not through cable utp to the internet. Help!

    I tried to connect my computer laptop windows 7 to the internet using a utp cable. Unfortunately, without success. Works with wireless, but in my dorm, I cannot use internet via cable. I tried to turn off the wireless, but that did not work either the comouter does not recognize that the cable is already connected. Please help me solve this problem.

    Thanks for your help in advance! :)

    I would check the cable carefully.  Sometimes, some of the wires are loose from the plug.  See if the laptop can connect to cables in other places.  If possible, the problem is with the cable and not on your computer.

    Good luck.

  • XP SP3 laptop computer connects to various WiFi hotspots but not to an individual.

    Just upgraded to Verizon MiFi 2200 MiFi 4620 the personal hotspot.  Our other Office XP SP3 computer, a Windows 7 laptop and Tablet Android ASUS everything automatically detected and entering the network key/password, all connected to the hotspot and the WWW.

    Fortunately, the XP SP3 laptop connects to other WiFi hotspots and will always connect to the MiFi 2200 old if it is powered even if, of course, he cannot access the WWW, because Verizon's network no longer recognizes the 2200 due service is transferred to the new 4620 MiFi.

    The XP SP3 laptop detects the new hotspot very well.  The command 'View available wireless networks' shows the new hotspot, but when 'Connect' is attempted he goes just in the cycle to appear in the connection, but returned eventually to view available wireless networks.  The 'Connect' button is available, implying that it would connect so click on new.

    Use the same settings (SSID, password, encryption, etc) for the device problem than others who work as they should.  It seems to be an incorrect setting or adjustment in the laptop but I can not understand that one.  I compared the services running on two XP machines and have found no obvious inadequacy.

    Advice?

    Thank you!

    When you say that the new device has the same encryption, do you mean that you know that both old and new devices use the same type of encryption (for example, WPA2, WPA, WPA-TKIP, etc.)?

    I noticed the following two statements in the Guide of the user for the MiFi 4620 L (page 30)

    • WPA/WPA2 Personal joint (safer, less compatible with older devices)
    • IMPORTANT you must use the profile secured with WPA/WPA2 Personal Mode security settings mixed when possible.

    Suggesting that the MiFi 4620 can by default that set... and that the hardware in your computer laptop problem is one of the 'old' devices that is not compatible with this setting.

    Just as an experiment, temporarily configure the MiFi to 'Open' (see pages 30 et seq.) and see if your laptop can connect.

  • Computer laptop-TV connection: no TV video

    Inspiron 1505 - Windows Vista Home Premium - Media Center

    I use an S-video cable with three RCA jacks, plus an audio adapter to connect my TV to my laptop. When I tried this connection two months ago, he had great sound but not picture... So I just put the pending question...

    .. up to - this a week ago, when I clicked on the screen "in THE" on my TV (required for a connection to the computer) and seen the screen of my laptop by mistake! To watch Media Center, I enlarged it in my LCD and boom: beautiful, clear video and live TV I could pause, record, watch in slow-mo... I really thought that I had done!

    Yesterday, however, all this happened to one unfortunate stop after I decided to rearrange the furniture and left the where it is initially set my TV a paltry foot and a pivot 90 degrees. Apparently something happened in this gesture to break the connection because when I lit the game later, what came through was scientifically. There was no video.

    ISo, am right back where I started.

    To be sure I didn't tire/loose anything, I meticulously disconnected, reconnected and shook each cable (on TV, laptop, modem, tuner). Nothing. I have even went into Media Center and handed to zero for the configuration of the TV. Once again, nothing.

    While Googling and spreading by forum, I learned that my few days of joy of Media Center were not even from official Media Center connection, but rather a display of additional office configuration (Btw, I tried FN + F8 to pass the poster and once again - nothing).

    I don't have what could happen - or what to do next.

    Help would be so appreciated.

    Hi Ashley... B,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    Which version of Windows Vista is installed on your computer?

    1. first you need a video cable to make the physical connection. For a better image quality, you must connect to the computer to the TV using standard VGA ports or via DVI to HDMI cable provided your TV supports these ports.
    2. open the "display settings" in your Vista computer and activate the output to the TV screen. You can reflect the content of your computer on the TV or extend the display as a double screen control.
    3. pick up your TV remote and switch to "External inputs" in the menu. You need to change the value by default "Video 1" to a different selection which may be "HDMI 1" or "video 2" depending on how you made the connection. "
    Important: Make sure you connect the cable to the TV before turning on the computer, because sometimes it may not recognize the external display.
    You may also change the resolution of your TV screen using the display settings in your panel of control remains the image may appear distorted.
