Television problems

S-Video jack has 7 pins

The S-Video jack on some notebooks is a 7-pin jack. In some regions, standard S-Video cables have 4-pin connectors. A 4-pin S-Video cable can be used in a 7-pin S-Video jack.

For information about whether to use an S-Video to S-Video cable or another type of cable, such as S-Video to Scart, refer to your television documentation.

Television is blank

Tap or move the pointing device (TouchPad, pointing stick, or optional external mouse).

Resume from Standby or exit Hibernation.

If the notebook is extremely warm or cold, allow it to reach room temperature.

Switch the image to the television. For instructions:

Refer to your model-specific documentation.

Some models have a hotkey that switches the image among the notebook display and optional external devices such as monitors or televisions.

Some models have settings in the Setup utility that affect display locations. For example, on some models you can open the Setup utility as instructed in your model-specific documentation, then select System Devices menu > Video Display Device item > Both setting.

Refer to your operating system online Help or printed documentation. Some operating systems have Extended Desktop features that affect the location of the display.

Make sure TV out is enabled on your notebook. For instructions, refer to your operating system online Help or printed documentation.
