how do i get an Advent laptop to send signal to my sanyo tv?. i would like to display my laptop desktop on my 32" sanyo tv, i have the vga lead and the correct input selected on the tv, but it reads no signal. my desktop background picture flashed up for a short while but then was gone.i have no idea how it appeared or what i did to make it go again. any suggestions would be extremely helpful, thank you.
i have no idea what i amdoing on this site, sorry. but my last question is marked solved and it isnt, i pressed wrong link/key/button, who knows. sorry again
