Title: Re: Laptop to tv Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, March 13, 2011, 17:17:00 There's usually a button you need to press to turn the output from the laptop on (usually the function key +f4 I think). Wait a moment after that and hopefully it should work.

For example, on my laptop the Fn+F8 cycles through the options LCD screen, CRT (VGA) and LCD+VGA. It's obvious on mine as F8 has LCD/CRT written on it. Tell us the model and we may be able to helpmore.

Could also be that the resolution on the external display is set higher than the TV can actually show. Title: Re: Laptop to tv Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Sunday, March 13, 2011, 17:22:41 Its an advent, thonk its f4 cheers for advice
