How to connect Satellite C670D-11K to my LCD TV?

Afternoon,
Slowing losing whats left of my hair trying to get my laptop hooked up to my LCD TV. :(
I've purchased a VGA to HDMI lead plugged it into my tv and my lappy and nothing, my brother on the other hand plugs his laptop in via he built in hdmi port he has and the picture appears straight away.
Any ideas/solutions would be much appreciated...

VGA to HDMI adapter would not work because you cannot send a video signal from the analogue port to a digital port (but from digital to analogue).
For such purpose you will need an expensive and special converter.
Therefore I would recommend using another solution. For example connection the notebook to TV using an VGA to s-video cable or VGA to scart

  • How to connect Satellite L300 laptop to a LCD TV

    I am trying to connect my satellite L300 laptop to LCD tv via VGA port. I am having trouble getting the full desktop on TV. The left hand side of the screen is not visibe and there is a black strip on the right hand side of the screen. I have vista home premium edition installed and i am using 1360x768 resolution. Could any one please help me fix this.
    My satellite L500D laptop connects fine with the TV usinG xactly same settings.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Please check in your graphic card settings if the option: Full Screen (no border) has been chosen.
    This can be found in Aspect Ration Options.
    Ive got a U400 with Intel graphic chip and this option is available there.
    Furthermore some notebooks support an additional BIOS option where the screen could be set to full screen (no borders)

  • How to connect Satellite Pro L40-15A to my TV?

    Hi
    I would like to use the laptop connected to my TV to watch movies. Can it be connected using the TV as a monitor and what type of cable would you use?
    Thanks
    Malc

    To connect laptop to TV is very easy. If you check Users manuals document you will find exact explanation how to do this.
    If I am remembering well your notebook should have S-Video out port and for video signal transfer you must use S-Video cable. Hopefully your TV has S-Video IN port. If not you can use different adapters.
    Please check this thread and read carefully posting written by Miro. He has explained very detailed how to connect laptop to the TV.
    If you have more questions please post again.

  • How to connect Satellite P100-429 to a LG LCD TV using a VGA?

    Having problems connecting my laptop to a LG LCD TV using a VGA cable, the TV keeps coming up NO INPUT

    In my opinion you use wrong port. I am not 100% sure but I believe you have S-Video port on notebook and use this port to connect your notebook to the TV.
    You need just the right cable. When connected enable S-Video port on TV.
    Generally speaking the same is with VGA port.
    Has your TV VGA port or you use some adapters?

  • How to connect Satellite M115 to the TV?

    Hi
    I have a Toshiba Satellite M115 s3094 and Im trying to connect it to my TV. The TV I have has only composite and SCART ports (its an old TV). I managed to connect it through s-video connector but I have no sound on the TV and its also in black and white.
    How do I get color and sound? Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hello
    To be clear: With S-Video cable you can transfer to the TV video signal only. For sound you need other cable. When you use S-Video cable you must enable S-Video port on the TV. When you do this the problem with color will be solved.
    For audio you need audio adapter and audio cable. Both you can connect to the TV directly (if the ports are available red and white). If not you can connect it to SCART adaptor together with S-Video cable.
    Check please this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=69026&#69026 . There you can find links and see how all this stuff looks like.

  • How to connect Satellite 1800-400 on TV?

    Hi
    I want to connect my Toshiba Satellite 1800/400 to my TV, but i dont know how to install a secondary video adapter. My graficscard is a Trident Video Accelerator Cyberblade Ai1.
    PLEASE help because i am getting hopeless and frustrated because i need it for school

    Hello Kevin
    As far as I know you dont need to install a secondary video adapter. The notebook has got Video-out jack output to transfer the NTSC or PAL data to external devices (TV).
    If you want to activate the TV output function, please go to Display Properties then click on Advanced. Please click now on Display Device tab.
    There you can set the settings to TV and in the Multi-Monitor Devices section to LCD/TV. Dont forget the TV-Standard (PAL or NTSC).
    Nevertheless with the key combination FN+F5 you can choose between the LCD and TV.

  • How to connect Satellite L355D to a TV?

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L355D laptop and I would like to watch my computer movies on my TV.
    Unfortunately, I do not know what cables do I need to be able to do it?
    Any help will be appreciated! Thank you!

    It seems to be that your notebook has no separate Video-out port but RGB only. This port is there if you want to connect external monitor.
    Anyway, as far as I know, you can buy RGB adapter. I don't know which port you want to use on your TV but the best thing you can do is to visit TV store. Talk with dealers and explain what you want to do. they will give you the right adapter.

  • How to connect satellite set-top box to Qosmio G50 using RCA video-in cable

    I want to connect my satellite set-top box to my Qosmio G50 laptop using the RCA video-in cable I received with the computer. (yellow, red, white RCAs and a Jack)
    Could you help me where should I plug this cable as I have not found any instructions in the users manual. (The user's manual list this cable on page 21, so it can be used for something somehow for sure!)
    (The set-top box does not have coaxial output, and I do not want to include another machine (eg. an old VCR) just to use coaxial connection.)
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite Pro L10 which has a VGA out put but no s-video out put and I would like to stream on to my TV! Does anyone know what I need to get or have to do to enable me to do this? I have a VGA to SCART led but this dose not seems to work!
    Cheers

    Hi buddy,
    there are such special "VGA-to-TV" Converter like this one http://www.smarthome.com/7743.html . The benefit of this box is, that you can make some accurate settings for your picture.
    Otherwise you can try that thing which pedro suggested.
    Should work well. ;)

  • How to connect satellite receiver to mac

    I dont have TV and I wanna connect my reciver to my macbook pro does anyone have any idea ?!
    I have seen this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKacgqxqH-Q
    but he is using Firewire my reciever doesnt have Firewire, can i connect it to HDMI ?!

    Hi
    I assume this is a audio receiver.
    So why do you use the i.Link (firewire) port to connect an audio receiver to the notebook ?:|
    This notebook should support the S/PDIF jack. This lets you connect a audio-output device as a external speaker or a power amplifier. It allows the lossless digital transfer of audio data from device to another.
    To connect the both devices you would need an S/PDIF cable ask your dealer for such compatible cable. He should know what would be compatible.

  • How to connect Satellite Pro C to TV?

    Hi Everyone,
    Thanks.
    I would like to connect my C series up to my TV.
    The C series only has an External Video Port.
    My TV has RCA inputs and an SVHS input or S_Video imput.
    Can anyone help?
    John

    Hi
    If your notebook supports only a monitor out port (RGB) then you will need an adapter.
    For example RGB to s-video

  • CPU 100% - Satellite C670D-11K

    Is this just this machine or is this a common state for these laptops?
    Whatever I do on this machine, for example, load a web page or play an MP3 file from the hard drive, the CPU jumps to 100%. Of course, any interaction is jolted... for example scrolling web pages or playing back music files.
    any advice? (machine still under warranty)
    thanks

    In your case I would check the processes running in the background.
    You can do that starting the Task Manager.
    Check what process stresses the CPU and google for that
    Sometimes it could be possible that an internet browser add-on or extension causes such issue.
    In my case this happened sometimes using the Chrome. I had some add-ons added to the Chrome and one of the add-ons was not really compatible with the latest Chrome version.

  • How to connect Mac Mini with LG 19LS4D LCD TV?

    Hi all,
    I just purchased my Mac Mini and tried connecting to my LG 19" HD TV using the supplied DVI to VGA adapter. When I first booted the machine "No signal" was displayed on my TV. I plugged in another 15" monitor and played around with resolutions and cable swapping and it works at 1024 x 768 at 60Hz (not ideal but better than nothing). Everytime I turn off the Mac Mini or it goes to sleep the resolution is reset and "No signal" appears again.
    I have tried connecting via VNC to play around with the settings remotely but this has no effect on my TV monitor and is only resolved by the solution above or by leaving my Mac awake and not sleeping.
    The documentation for the TV says that all the resolutions I have tried, and more are supported and Detect Displays under System Preferences shows these but defaults to a resolution that produces a "No signal" box.
    Any ideas would be greatly welcomed.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi BSteely,
    Thanks for the reply. To answer your questions, the LG shows on the mini as it should do i.e. there is a specific code (the LG model number) and lists the resolutions and refresh rates listed in the manual. Adobe Photoshop complains of a bad colour profile but I think that was only because when the LG is finally lit up it is as a result of me connecting the 15" monitor then hot swapping before OS X has change to realise.
    When using VNC with the LG attached 1024 x 768 at 60Hz is shown but selecting that does not show the screen on the LG.
    I did install SwitchResX from looking at other forums but was unable to save a usable state as the profile and resolutions were from a different monitor effectively despite my LG being connected. The P&D file that it gave back is listed in full below although I suspect this is for my 15"monitor (Excuse the length but I am unsure as to which bits are most useful).
    The LG manual lists 1440 x 900 at 60Hz as the native default however the mini fails to recognise this. The easiest resolution I can get after hot swapping monitors is 1024 x 768 at 60Hz although the other day (not sure how) I did get 1280 x 1024 (at 60Hz?). The LG does not however have a DVI port. It does have HDMI so a DVI to HDMI cable could work but without buying a cable I don't know.
    Here is the LG's information file:

  • How to connect the Satellite Pro P100 to Hifi

    I've got Satellite Pro P100. How to connect this notebook to HiFI
    This is probably easy, but what can i say... just call me stupid.
    I've got the lead that goes out of the headphone jack, it links up to my hifi nice.
    Trouble being, there's a nasty hiss in the background. Tried plugging my boys mp3 player into the lead, and that works fine.
    Any chance of some help... thanks

    Hi
    In my knowledge you can connect the Sat Pro P100 to HiFi only via a 2-RCA Audio Y cable adapter. In my knowledge the notebook does not support the S/PDIF audio out so you will be able only to use an analog sound port.
    You could also buy a stereo adapter with 2x cinch jacks to connect the notebook to the Hifi. Such adapter can be plugged into the headphone jack
    Check this:
    stereo adapter
    I think you should visit the nearest notebook dealer. He can show you the right and supported cables and adapters.
