    About connecting my laptop to my tv...?

    i have a Toshiba satellite l305d-s5893 and i have a connector to go from a VGA output (on my laptop) to the s-video on my HD LCD TV, but when i try to connect it won't work? when i hit FN and F5 it shows the computer and it shows i can connect to a CRT television so how can i set it up to connect to an lcd tv?

    There are so many variables here that it's almost hopeless, but let's give it the old college try.

    First of all, using the S-video input will give a very poor picture. All LCD TVs I've seen have a VGA input connector. If yours does, you will get much better results using that input.

    If you are determined to use the S-video adapter, hook it up, set your computer to 640 x 480 resolution, switch the output to the VGA connector, and make sure you have selected the proper s-video input on the TV. Your LCD TV will not be expecting to see a 1366 x 720 signal on an S-video input, anothe reason not to use the S-video cable.

    For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

    Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

      MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX (MS-16R6) LAPTOP WON'T TURN ON AFTER RESTARTING
      by RdeveLabs
      To all the members here...

      Let me tell you a little bit about what happened to my laptop (MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX model: MS-16R6) that “maybe” you know how to solve this problem.

      So before this problem happened, my laptop was running smoothly. When I wanted to restart my laptop, it looked fine at first. But after I waited for this restart process to take a long time, until finally I panicked (because the restart process did not finish plus the laptop screen only showed a black screen), I immediately pressed and held the power button to force the laptop to turn off. But...
