Computer HELP!!

[davevandyk]

I have a laptop and am trying to hook it up to my tv, so that i can use the TV as my screen for working or watching movies. I bought an S-video cable and a S-video AV switcher to be able to hook it up to my TV. However when i set it all up, it doesn't seem to work? Anybody out there can help me??

thanks

thanks for the link, i was simply dumb and figured it out. It says that all the components must be turned off when you are installing the product. Not even thinking about the computer, i turned off the tv and xbox, but not the comp and now that i have turned it off and re-connected the wires, its working well now.

thanks for the help
