I have a slot on my laptop that looks like the VGA but mine doesn’t have the screws on the sides of it, can you tell me if the VGA is the right wire and if not, what wire do I need

I have found this article through searching on google and was wondering. I had my tv and laptop hooked up perfectly, all I had to do was plug them in, but now, that won’t work. What can I do to get it to work again? I go to windows mobility center and it doesn’t even recognise that there is anything plugged in. When I plug the HDMI cable into the back of the TV, it registers, but when I plug it into the computer, it isn’t even acknowledged, no beep or anything like it used to. The HDMI cable is brand new, never been used, so ruling out it being broken. HELP ME!!!

Horribly vague and misleading article. DVI can surpass HDMI, and the specification includes an HDMI mode. VGA can match HDMI resolutions. S-Video and Composite connections provide very similar signalsâ€”S-Video separates and shields differently, which will reduce interference, but otherwise have no effect on the signal.

More useful would have been a description of converting between common laptop outputs and common TV inputs. For example, converting from DVI to HDMI is rather inexpensive, but going from VGA to S-Video is expensive.

I need help
–
i bought 4pin s-video/3RCA cable to connect my laptop to TV.
but what happens is that only the white works as the composite video not the yellow as it suppose to
(is this normal or there is something wronge with the cable ??)
,and the picture on TV is black and white (unless i connect the other 2end ,the Red and the Yellow as audio)

the problem is that i will end up with no place for the audio cable (phone output to RCA cable ).

Am I doing something wrong ???
