| Vista Home Basic 32bit | Help connecting external display (TV) Im on an HP530 with Vista Home 32bit. I wanted to see some videos on my TV (Sony Trinitron XBR) which is "kinda" old and does not sport a VGA in connection. I bought a VGA to RCA cable and got it today so I connected the male VGA to the computer and the RCA to the TV and the laptop is not recognizing anything. Am I missing something? The VGA-RCA cable ALSO has a SVideo female and also tried that one. I already clicked the windows key+x to add it manually thru the "mobility" settings. HELP? I want to see House ![]() Thanks a bunch! |

| Vista Home Basic 32bit | Re: Help connecting external display (TV) Thanks SCSIraidGURU but it is still not working ![]() is there some kind of "switch" for the video card to "release" the image to the TV? The video card is from Intel... if more info on the card would help I'll let you know in a while. Thanks again. |

| Vista Home Basic 32bit | Re: Help connecting external display (TV) Thing is, when I connected the laptop on an AOC LCD from VGA to VGA it did it automatically, that's why I'm afraid my VGA-RCA adaptor wont work now ![]() Anyway, anyone knows how to manually turn on the TVOUT switch from the following card: Mobile Intel(R) 945GM/GU Express Chipset Family Thanks again. |
