hey i am a real ditz when it come to anything to do with technology. i have a toshiba equium A200-1V0 and it doesnt have and s video, but it does have a 15 pin vga. however my tv doesnt have vga and only s- video, so i was wondering, how would i be able connect it? i would be seriously grateful if some one could help me with this.
Ash, I just ran a Google search on "vga to s-video" and got a slew of results. One such result was a link back to this forum: vga 15 pin to s-video or 1 rca Something to start with, anyway.
My Brother-in-law has the same type of setup that you are talking about except his s-video is on his laptop and the vga/rca is on the tv he got an adapter online and said it was as easy as plug n play. Hope that helps.
correction his was Hdmi to s-video. However he said that the vga to s-video was like $50 bucks and was just as easy
I am told that you need to make sure that your laptop supports TV-out. I'm not sure exactly what he was saying so I'll find out and let you know.
Here is a link to one that I found online and it's only $4. http://www.bizrate.com/audiovideocables_adapters/oid570834504.html For that price, it's worth a try.
THANK YOU BOTH EVER SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! kalbster: could you ask your brother in law whether a separate audio cable is needed? seriously thanks alot for helping me out
