Connecting computer to TV

Hi  I have a 32L4200U I am trying to hook my laptop (lenovo thinkpad)
to the TV, I am not very good with computers , I am using a 15 pin cord to hook
up to my computer and another cord that goes into the sound port. when I hook up
I get sound from the computer to the TV great !! but I get no pictures. I want to be able to
go into "my pictures" and see them on the TV  I have gone on the TV and changed it to
PC and it says something like "no video input" or something like that  this was yesterday
I was doing this so I can't remember exactly
Is it something I have to change on my computer ? when I go into the setup
to click on PC that area is grey and I can't click on it so that mean I guess it is not getting the signal
from my laptop
don't know anything else to tell you all hope you have some suggestions
thanks

Sounds like your laptop isn't sending a video signal out.  There is usually a key combination you have to press to activate the external video.  If you look at the F# keys at the top of the keyboard, there are usually little pictures to such as a moon for sleepmode, volume up/down, screen brightness, and there is one to activate the external video.  You usually have to hold the Fn key on the lower left-hand side and press the appropriate F key.  I believe Fn+F7 will allow you to select the output.  You may also try the "Windows Key + P".
A menu should pop up allowing you to chose "Duplicate", "External Only", "Extend", etc...
Good luck!

  • HP PSC1610 won't print from internet. Error message says connect computer.

    When trying to print from the internet my printer start to accept the paper, but then spits it out with nothing on it.   I looked at the help menu and an ERROR message said  "no connection; connect computer or install device software.  This has never happened in the past until I installed new ink cartridges.   I unplugged and disconnected the printer then reconnected, etc.  Same problem.  Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer.  Installation successful, showed connection to computer, but failed to print document.  The error message is the same.    Help!   Thanks Xara

    Actually this is an addendum to the above.  the computer used to send the command to the printer uses Windows XP.  When the command is sent the printer goes into warm up mode for 2-3 seconds and I hear the parts moving before it spits the blank paper out and aborts. The printer queue is empty on my XP as if the job was finished.  Thanks  Xara

  • Having trouble connecting computer to TV with sound

    I have a 2010 macbook pro and a samsung LN40B550 LCD HDTV - having trouble connecting computer to TV with sound - I'm not sure which connectors I need and have purchased a few that aren't working (HDMI: DVI cable & Mini - DP to DVI adaptor).  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Sorry to tell you that DVI does not support sound.  You either have to use a HDMI cable (with the appropriate adapter) or tap your audio output port with a 'Y' type cable configuration for sound.
    Ciao.

  • Connecting computer to tv for viewing EPIX,ETC.. but not through router?????

    I need to start connecting computer to tv for viewing EPIX,ETC.. but not through router?????  I have a workroom with a TV but without cable connection, so I thought I would connect my computer to my TV.  I have an Acer Aspire laptop. and a 27" tv.  Please can anyone tell me how to get this to work.  I need something to watch while I am working.

    I'm a little confused here as to what you're looking for. Are you simply trying to get Internet Connectivity to the computer using the best method possible or are you looking to try and send a signal to the TV without a cable connection going to it? The computer's Internet portion is easy if that is the case. If we can just get some additional information on that, we'll figure out how to approach it.
    1: Does this Workroom have any Coaxial cabling going to it that can be connected back to the cabling the FiOS equipment is using?
    2: Is Ethernet cabling available and running to the location of the router, or nearby?
    3: Would Wireless work for you (as much as it is not ideal)?
    4: Are you looking for a Physical connection to the network?
    Now if what you're trying to accomplish is the actual connection between the Computer and the TV, check to see what inputs the TV supports (HDMI, VGA, DVI, Component, Composite) and see what the laptop supports (DisplayPort, VGA, HDMI, DVI). More than likely the Laptop would have a VGA connection along with the TV. Your best bet would be to honestly just connect a VGA Cable between the two machines, and then for audio, just use a 3.5" to Composite connection for the TV (Unless the TV has a 3.5" Input jack for the PC Input). If HDMI is available on both devices, by all means use that. Same with DVI as both give better picture quality over a VGA Cable.
    If you can give us exact model numbers, that would help.

  • When I try to scan a document on my MF8050cn, I get a "Connect Computer" error.

    When I try to scan a document on my MF8050cn, I get a "Connect Computer" error.  I am running Windows 8.  My device is directly connected to the computer.  I can print from the computer to the printer without issue.  I get this error when using the controls on the device. 
    If I try to use the MF Toolbox - Scan Function controls, I get the following error message: "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy.  Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem."  When I click "Switch To", it brings me to the Windows 8 tiles screen but does not resolve the issue.
    Please help!

  • Apple TV 3 slow to download from iCloud and connected computer.

    Apple TV 3 slow to download from iCloud and connected computer. Wired via ethernet with very fast upload and download speeds. Can anyone help please? Accessing YouTube is even incredibly slow. Have reset, no joy. Have changed DNS to Google DNS, no joy.

    Resolved!  Disabled BT Home Hub as wireless. Removed Devolo wireless plugs from house. Removed TP link powerline adapters (Apple TV was connected to ethernet). Set Time Capsule as the only wireless point in the house. Interestingly, if you have more than 1 access point in the house, BT Home Hub can get a little confused - so removing its wireless capability via the admin function via advanced settings basically set Time Capsule as only access point in the house). Changed DNS on Windows 7 machine to Open DNS.....(FYI, outside of US & Canada, Google DNS is pretty much useless and won't speed up your download speeds on Apple TV).  Restored Apple TV to factory settings and started again. Downloads from iCloud almost instant; downloads from shared computer almost instant; streaming from YouTube and Netflix almost instant. Happy days....

  • Connecting Computer to my Tv

    Hi, i was wondering if i can connect my computer to my tv to watch shows (mainly wrestling) we do not have cable. I was planning on getting a HDMI cable and connecting to my tv. My question is will that work? and will i be able to use my computer while watching the show on tv? or do i have to leave my computer alone to watch the show? I want to know if there is a way to watch shows on your tv from your pc and use your pc to play games at the same time.

    Do you know a lot about computers/tvs so that if I provided you with my information you could help? I bought a Toshiba laptop from Best Buy recently  (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Satellite+La​ptop+with+AMD+Turion%26%23153;+II+Dual-Core+Mobile​...) and I frequently watch tv programs online via Hulu. I have tried research a little bit on how to watch what is on my computer on my tv, but I don't have a lot of computer knowledge and basically need someone to tell me what to buy. My tv is a Philips and it's not a HD - I currently have Time Warner basic cable and a basic dvd/vcr player connected to the tv (not sure if that makes a difference or not). Any information you have for me on what I might need would be greatly appreciated and if you might need any other information in order to give me suggestions just let me know and I'll do my best to find out. Thank you!
    What inputs does the TV have?  If it is not an HDTV, it likely only has composite or S-video inputs.  It is very likely that it will be easier (and not much more expensive) to buy a new TV than to try and get S-video output with acceptable quality from the laptop.
    *disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.

  • Connecting computer to HDTV, why no color?

    Connecting my dv9000 laptop to my samsung TV using a SVideo cable but can only get black and white. SVideo output has 7 female pins on my laptop but all the cables I find are 4 pin like on my TV. TV does not have a VGA connection and my computer does not have hdmi output. Tried a vga to composite cable from radio shack but it seems those cables do not support video from a computer. Only composite output to VGA input like on projectors.
    This question was solved.

    Have you tried a cable like this example?

     It appears there are others on the web. You are not getting the chorma (color) information, just the video portion.
