Hooking up to a bigger screen

I am trying to hook up my laptop to show on my t.v. I believe the output is the s-video jack. Is that all I need to do? because it is not working.

    Have you configured the laptop to display on the secondary (S-Video) Jack?

How do i hook lap top up

Most Laptops have a VGA output port. You would just hook this to the VGA input of the TV for video (picture).
You would then need to hook an audio cable from the laptops headphone jack to the TV's VGA's Audio Input jack.
Newer laptops have a HDMI output so that is easier and can hook directly to the TV's HDMI input for both video and audio.

Dropped my laptop

If the laptop appears to run with a black screen, hook a spare monitor to the video output, if picture okay screen may need to be changed, check cable connections and the inverter board under the screen for cracks. If both screens show the same symptoms it is the video graphics card or the motherboard itself, if the laptop is completely dead it is the main board and needs to be assessed.

Acer Aspire 4930 not starting.... only black screen

Hook a spare monitor to the video output, usually on the back, if picture okay! the LCD screen on the laptop has a bad inverter board or the backlight behind the screen has failed. But if both show the same symptom the Video Graphics Card is bad usually built into the motherboard.

Ihave an hp pavillion laptop where the screen went black and need a solution to fix

First hook a spare monitor to the video output jack usually on the back, if picture comes up! it indicates a bad inverter board, or the backlight has stopped working, if the spare shows the same problem, it means the video graphics card is defective and normally built into the motherboard.

I turn on the ps3 but it doesnt show on the screen all the plugs are where they have to be and the green light is on what do i do

You have two options for hooking up a PS3, through HDMI and RCA\component (i believe). If you currently are hooked up using HDMI, try switching to the other cable. Some PS3's don't detect HDMI for some reason, and you have to manually tell it to output to HDMI.

I have an acer aspire 5100 laptop i need to hook up to my tv for a presentation tomorrow. there is no s-video output on it,. how do I hook it up to my tv?

If your TV has RCA jacks on the back or front. Input type. Then you can go to radio shack and get a vga cable to RCA jack converter. That is all you can do. Is the TV a flat screen if yes then you can hook up you pc with a monitor cable like your usine now in your house. Find out the type of TV.. Ask someone to check the tv for a computer port on the back.

Hooking my laptop to tv

Your laptop must have either:
- a composite video output (round yellow jack with just one hole in it) that goes to the video input which all TV's have.
- a s-video output (larger round jack with several pins) that goes to the s-video input which almost all TV's have.
- or just use the monitor output (15-pin dsub jack) that very few TV's have.
