Can I hook up my Toshiba laptop to my Sharp Aqous TV, if so what connections do I need, ?S-video? I have an SGA connection on my laptop but not on the TV?

the problem is in the vcr/dvd player

If you TV has HDMI connections. All you need is a HDMI cable. Hook the HDMI cable into the laptop and into the TV. Turn the TV on and go to that HDMI connection on the TV. It will show everything on the laptop on the TV. Videos, Documents, and anything else.

Recheck all ur tv connections,take out the incomming broscast coalax cable connect it to use on another tv,see have the same problem no red,no than it the tv Tuner board is dead,must be replaced the tv Tuner board.Tries Websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish Tuner signal board for the replacement.

I would check the video setting on your laptop. The resolution or refresh rate might have been changed and the LCD TV might not be able to process the signal. Try changing the laptop's resolution to the lowest setting(right-click on desktop and pick properties) and see if the TV produces a picture. Also verify the video output on the laptop is working by hooking it up to a computer monitor if available.

after hooking the pc to the tv make sure the tv is set to the correct input, hit alt+f5.

I have a similar problem. The Sharp TV aquos appears to be shutting down my blue ray player and dvd recorder when connected via HDMI. They work fine and never close down when I connect them via the rca cables either single video connection or a composite 3 cable rca lead. I have 3 HDMI inputs on the tv and the problem occurs on all 3. Any suggestions?

In order to hook a laptop or any computer to a tv you have to have the right video card with the correct video connections like hdmi or s-video. If you don't have those connections then you can't hook a laptop to a tv.

after you hook the cable up to the tv, go into the tv's menu to make sure the input mode is set to s-video. then go into the control panel on your laptop and find the settings for your video card and set the output to "TV" or "Clone"

Let me know :)

You have to connect it the s-video port on your laptop..to get the Video..VGA is not supported by some tv sets..

There are two possible problems: 1. You are connecting a 15-pin (on the laptop) to the 9-pin (on the TV) connection. This isn't the video-in connection for the TV. The TV has a DB-15 connection near its DVI input connector. You should be using a 15-pin to 15-pin cable. The DB-9 connector on the TV is a serial port for servicing the TV. 2. You aren't enabling the external video port for the laptop. Try hitting Fn+F5 on the laptop to cycle between the three display modes: laptop only, laptop + TV, TV only. Make sure to wait a few seconds after hitting Fn+F5 to let the displays sync up.
