Connecting Lenovo T61 to TV

Hi Friends,

Hope someone here can help me out.

I have a Laptop from Lenovo and it has VGA port. "NO S-Video" so I purchased a cable that has VGA at one end and Svideo,Yellow Rca at the other end as here :

I have a convertor that can take Svideo as in and that gives RCa(yellow/red/white) to my tv.

My OS is Windows Vista and I am not able to detect the external monitor.

Earlier my other laptop had Svideo so I connect one end to the laptop and the other end to the RCA convertor then thre colored ones go to the tv and everything works fine with XP os.

Please let me know if I am missing something.

Again, connection is as below

One end i.e VGA is to the Laptop
Other end i.e S-video to the convertor
From Convertor I take the yellow one to the TV.

For audio I directly connect to the headphone jack of Laptop to the tv through Red or White.

Thanks
Pragan.

 

HI Chuck,

Thanks for welcoming me and the reply. I tried connecting my laptop to the Monitor of my desktop and it works well.
As per your suggestion I checked the manual but I couldnt find anywhere about VGA can output composite or svideo signel..In my manual I can see a note saying tht a port to connect external monitor.

Please help me if there is something that I can do..I was happy to buy the cable when I saw it online that there is convertor for VGA to Svideo..

Thanks
Pragan!
