adey Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hi guys.. I have no problem connecting Asus C90S to a plasma or LCD.. it has but as i had to move to a country area for 2 mnths. n in my room they have one of those old bulky tv's no flat screen. but do have RCA audio video input.. I have got a VGA to RCA connector. picture attactched.. But the lappy doesnt detect any tv.. what can i do to fix this issue.. i thought if i buy an s-video to composite adapter. plug the s-video adapter into the s-vide on the laptop and the composite into the tv. i think that will work i tried this as well see the attached picture. no joy,, is there any other option? i tried it on all the non digital tv's it doesnt work.. but if its a lcd or plasma all works great.

CodeCrackerx9 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 A lot of times on a laptop there is function keys used to force detect whether something is plugged nto the S-Video or VGA ports. Try hitting that a couple of times if your laptop has one. The function key usually looks like a TV, screen, or a laptop of some kind. Hope This Helps!

McGoof Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I get strange feeling that nvidia doesn't support old displays any more. If I'm wrong please correct me ;P But just in case, try older drivers, like 156.10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zyth Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I think you need a cable having S-video for both ends, so you will have the s-video cable going to your laptop and the other end goes to the s-video adapter of the TV.

Michael Marley Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 There is a simple hardware fix you can apply, if you are not afraid to tinker around. Simply take a very thin piece of wire, such as a single strand from a copper wire. Then, insert the ends into the top left and right holes on the S-Video connector before you plug up the cable.

Guest Tom Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hi, which pins do you have to connect together? Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:MiniDIN...ctor_Pinout.svg, is it pins 1&2 or 3&4? Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps4_zio Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hello I is the 2 top left and right connections (4 and 3 from Wikipedia.) It really works, the better thing to do is after the detection is to remove the wire because it causes some ghosts in the image Then the image is perfect. I am quite pissed to have to use this all the time. If someone have a better solution, please post it I Made a official question to nvidia and I am waiting for they response. Please everyone do the same thing and lets hope that they fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
