Hello all,
I have a 9860 that had its motherboard and video card replaced/upgraded from a 6800 to 7800GTX 512. I also have the AverMedia TV Tuner Card. I'm having a problem putting my notebook to display to the TV.
I have S-video, (the Yellow connector), and Component Out (which uses the svideo out w/ an adapter) as i'm sure all of this model does. A few months ago, i was able to connect my laptop to a normal TV (CRT) via the "yellow" connector and component. I watched some recorded shows that were on the Notebook. Recently, I took my notebook to my Brother-in-law's house, and was trying to get it to play on his TV. No luck. I tried, s-video, "yellow", and Component. It would not show. I thought it was his TV. When I came home, I tried it on my TV, and no dice. Last week, I bought a new 50" Hitachi Plasma 1080p, with component, s-video and HDMIs (but not VGA for PC). Tried to hook the laptop to it, still no video. Its like the ports are not giving out the signal.
I've played with the resolution, bringing it down (via the Nvidia panel) to 640x480 and up to max of 1600x1050. I pushed the Fn+F8(? whatever the key is to switch video outputs) and i hear the TV "kinda" switch over, but no picture. I've gone into settings and "extended my desktop", no picture. Ive looked all throughout the Nvidia Control Panel but haven't found anything helpful. My driver is "NVIDIA Video driver for Windows XP For GeForce GO 7800 GTX, 7900 GTX, 7950 GTX, and Quadro FX 2500M graphics only! 86.63" from the Sager driver web page if that helps.
If you need any more info, let me know. I really want to be able to watch my laptop on the tv again.
TIA
