Hi everyone!

I need some help on finding out some stuff about this old laptop...

Its a Compaq Armada 4131T and on the back it has a yellow RCA jack. Is it for inputting a video source or driving its video to a tv. If its for inputting how do I enable it on Win98? If its for driving its video to a TV how do I enable that? I've been Googling for hours and can't find a solution. I've gotten its original manual and it says that I can connect a VCR or TV to it by choosing TV or VCR in the Refresh tab in the Display Properties window. I have tried that with no luck because I cannot seem to find the Refresh tab. I have connected to both 'Monitor Out' and RCA Input on my TV from my laptop but with no success from that eather. Also, another site tells me that if I do not see a Refresh tab, then I need a video adapter program. http://netnotes.nsuok.edu/Documents/...20settings.htm

Can anyone give me suggestions????

It is output only, I dont know about win98 but newer Win OS's go to Display Properties and enable it as the secondary output device. It is a composite out, just like a video game system, so hook it up to the yellow jack on ur tv or vcr.
