I have a HP Compaq Presario F700 laptop. I wish to view the videos I have on the laptop, on my TV. There is a 7 pin S-Video out socket on the laptop, to which I have connected a cable with the appropriate fitting. The other end of cable (3 jacks - white, red and yellow) I have connected to the inputs on my TV (a modern LCD machine). I play the video on the laptop, but no response on the TV. The TV inputs are labelled EXT-4. I have switched to EXT-4, but - nothing. Do I need any software to enable the S-Video out, on the laptop, or should it be functional when the video is playing on the monitor?
I also have a DVD recorder with appropriate inputs, but can get no response on this either. Any help would be much appreciated. wilen27.
