I want to connect my Toshiba satellite laptop to my flatscreen TV

If your TV has a VGA computer input connector, the you can connect a VGA cable from the TV to the video port on the Toshiba laptop.

I have tried this on several occasions with different models of VGA to RCA converter boxes and the resulting screen images have always been extremely POOR.

If I were you, I would not bother spending any money on one of those converters. Just save the money and put it towards a decent computer monitor or a good flatscreen TV with a VGA input connection.

You can pick up a good old CRT computer monitor for next to nothing these days since everyone is just throwing them out and changing over to the flatscreen monitors. And if you want, you can even pick up a small brand new flatscreen monitor for about $100, so there's not much reason really to mess around with those questionable converter devices.

Good luck anyway.

depending on how old you laptop is because the L300 range has been going for a while will be either a HDMI cable or a VGA to HDMI cable but if you require sound and you have to use the latter you will need a headphone jack to auxhilary lead to go from the headphone port of your laptop to the line in on your tv

You need a VGA to TV cable. If your TV has a component input, you need a VGA to component cable, like the following one:

The VGA connector is for your laptop (you connect in on the side) and the RCA connector (3 plugs) is for your TV

Check your TV for a green, blue and red connector on back.

well you need to use the VGA TO VGA Cable and some toshiba laps needs to set it on that mode by pressing Fn+F10.

Research to see if the tv is vga compatable. Not all tv's can be hooked up to a computer. Most tv's that can be will have a vga port, thus you will need a vga cable.(sorry don't have a pic, google it)

Have you tried connecting to an external monitor? Try that. If the picture is perfect on the external monitor then the VGA port is OK but there is a problem with communications between the system board and the screen connector.

Hope this helps. Kindly leave a rating.

Thanks :)

press and hold fn and press f11.it sounds like you activated the sticky keys
