Reply With QuoteAren't most older TVs limited to 50hz? Which is why you often get a choice when loading Playstation etc games whether to run at 50 or 60hz. Are you able to drop it that low?
I have a laptop which has s-video output from the back of it. I have had to buy a s-video lead, s-video to composite converter and then a composite converter, i have tried plugging this into my tv, and i get a little flicker but no desktop or anything.
What could this be, is it my laptop, i have tried it on several television and at all possible resolutions with the min refresh of 60Hz?
Oh dear here goes my project down the drain! I looked around and i have seen vga to composite converters, however they are $129 which is not cheap, but cheapre than a pc or a new laptop. Also where can i get a dv to dv transformer to step up to 20v to power the laptop?
Thanks all in advance.

its a new tv i am running it on. It works with my other laptop, however i think its because you need to change the setting in the display panel , so i am downloading the latest driver to see if that works. Thanks for the input though.
np, shame it didn't help!

On my old laptp it has a ATI graphics chipset, you have to have the TV connected and turned on before you turn on the laptop.
the TV out was only enabled when the laptop detected that a TV was present.
or maybe you have to goto the display settings/advanced option
and see if you have an option to turn on the TV out.

Got it to work in the end after downloading the latest drivers and multimedia programs for the card, thanks
