A few weeks ago, we were trying to have a movie night and have the movie 1408
played on a laptop computer and output to the TV. However, as the lame tradition goes, DELL laptops can't seem to perform the task. The S-Video output of various DELL laptops were tried (700m, E1405 and XPS1210) but none of them worked. Hence, I went to check on the DELL support forums in my search for a solution.
To my disappointment, no solution was found. Many users posted their woes and tried the advice as provided by others on the forums. However, none of the advice was turned in by a DELL laptop user. My friend tried to do the online chat thing with a DELL CSR and the suggestions provided by the CSR were "too general". Checking each startup program to see which one is interfering with the problem is plain dumb. Dumber than Dumbo. Wait, I am not saying Dumbo is dumb.
My friend is really persistent and took out all the manuals to see what's to be done. All those didn't work. Not even the FN + F8 button. So she went all out to buy a PC to TV Cable.
A set of PC Output to TV Cable (S-Video + 3.5mm to Composite AV) for only $2.50 shipped. A worthy investment I would say. And a hot deal too! We'll see if it solves the problem.
