IdeaPad U510 Mini VGA

Has anyone successfully connected the U510 to a monitor using the mini VGA port.  If so,  what adaptor part number
was used?

I have an HDMI to VGA adapter and it works fine. I have tested it with a Dell monitor, a Samsung TV and a Dell projector. No problem so far. Mine is a StarTech HD2VGAE from Newegg, but there are Lenovo adapters as well.

  • How to connect an older MacBook Pro with mini VGA port to HDMI?

    I have an older MacBook Pro with a female mini VGA port.  I would like to watch movies which have been downloaded to my laptop on my flat screen TV.  Newer MacBook Pros have a mini DisplayPort for which Belkin makes a cable to use; however, I have not been successful in finding either an adapter or converter to use with my older laptop. 
    FYI.  Am currently using Leopard but am upgrading to Snow Leopard.

    I believe you naeed the Apple ADC to DVI adapter.

  • How can I connect an ADC to an iMac G4 with mini-VGA port?

    I have an Apple Studio Display monitor that I want to connect to my iMac G4 that has a mini-VGA port. I have the ADC to DVI adapter, but cannot find any adapters that go from DVI to mini-VGA. Please help!
    I "inherited" these devices for work from a different university. They originally used the extra monitor with a PowerBook G4 that has a DVI port. But I would rather use it with the iMac - is it at all possible???
    Thanks!

    Hi,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Depending on the age of the iMac G4 depends on what outputs are possible:
    700/800MHz - Mini VGA port to VGA port
    1.0/1.25GHz - Mini VGA port to VGA port or Mini VGA to S-Video/Composite.
    I'm not sure if the first revision of 1.0GHz iMac (Early 2003) fell in to the first category or the latter one.
    regardless... these adpators are available at theApple Store online for $19/£15. From there you'd need to find a VGA - DVI convertor and then the DVI to ADC convertor. Googling for such adaptors brings up several results.

  • 24 pin DVI-D to Mini VGA adapter for external monitor

    So I am about to buy a 20" Dell lcd monitor and I found out I need an adapter to the ibooks mini DVI port, can anyone direct me towards a 24 pin DVI-D to mini VGA so I can connect this monitor to my 12" ibook?
    Thank You
    Jeff

    The iBook does not have a mini-DVD port. The iBook has a mini-VGA port.
    The mini-VGA to VGA adapter is the Apple VGA Display Adapter M8639G/A.

  • Mini-VGA to S-video Adapter / Getting Original Display Setting Back

    I purchased the Mini VGA to S-Video Adapter. Works good with my HD Television. But no I cant get my original Display settings back. I dont know exactly what the setting was but it had more screen space. Please Help, Ryan

    So you have a good picture on your TV but not your mac?
    Open the display pane of system preferences, leave the settings that come up under VGA Adapter (or whatever it calls itself) But for the iMac settings, colour should be millions, and then just go through the different resolutions until you find one that you like.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • Mini-VGA to S-video resolution problems.

    I have recently hooked up a Apple Video Adapter that connects from my 17" iMac 1.8 GHz G5 Mini-VGA port to the S-video port on my RCA TV. My problem is that while it is plugged in I cannot put my iMac resolution at the proper 1440 x 900 because the option is not there. In order to get the 1440 x 900 option back, I have to unplug the adapter. How can I fix this so I don't have to unplug the adapter?

    Had the same problem here (drove me crazy) Search for ScreenSpanningDoctor. It will easily solve your problem.

  • Mini-VGA to S-video only gives a black&white tv-screen.

    When I connect my emac G4 with a video adapter (through mini-VGA) to the S-video port of my tv it doesn't have any colour. How can I change this? The image is perfect but its just black and white.

    thanks for the help guys, i solved it by using a standard (we dutch people call it a tulip) cable instead of a S-video cable. Still don't know what the problem really was with that..

  • Mini-VGA to S-video

    I have the mini-VGA adapter to connect my iBook to my S-video input on my T.V. Can I use this to view movies in my iTunes library on my T.V? Can I expect decent picture quality? Is it possible to stream the audio content through my airport express to my home theater audio? Suggestions and tips appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul
    P.S. Hope this is the correct forum for this post.

    yes, you can use the s-video connection to view video. the video would probably be fine, but with the computer having a superior image. i think most people would want that set up just for the larger resolution. if you had a dvi or hdmi connection it would be better. as far as the audio goes, sure you can use your speakers. the thing is though, is that they have to be hooked directly to the airport express. there is no way around that. and then you go to your itunes preferences and make sure that itunes has searching for remote speakers enabled.

  • Poor resolution from mini-vga to s-video adapter

    I recently bought a digital projector to watch movies on at home, and am using my 14"iBook as the video source. It works great when using a vga cable. However, i want to run the cables up through the ceiling and down through the wall to keep them out of sight. I had read that S-video was supposed to be a fairly high resolution method of transmitting the signal, and is also a lot slimmer than vga (and thus easier to snake through the walls.) So I bought a mini vga to s-video/ video adapter and when I hook it up to the projector, the image quality is very poor. Is there a setting that needs to be changed on my iBook to get it to display properly, or something else that I'm missing? I bought the adapter used on ebay, so I'm trying to troubleshoot the problem without buying another adapter only to find out that it still doesn't work. Also, I am running screen spanning doctor, but even if I change to mirror mode, it still looks bad.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply, John. That was my suspicion. Guess I'll have to drill giant holes to be able to run the VGA cable. Unless of course I could figure out how to remove/re-attach the connector end. Anyone know if this is possible? Or, is it possible to find a 15' long mini vga? It seems that there ought to be someone out there who could make custom cables for unique situations and needs like mine. What I really need is a box that runs off my ibook that has multiple display outputs so that i don't have to pull cords every time I want to switch from my 22" widescreen to my projector.

  • The mini vga adaptor doesn't recognize the display help?

    i am unable to connect my macbook pro to the projector through the mini vga adaptor .it shows a blue screen on connecting and then nothing happens.please suggest step by step procedure to get the display . the projector is of sony.any setting changes are needed pls suggest.

    Check your port for any dirt or debris. Check your system prferences, for the correct sttings
    Try a PRAM reset.
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on your Mac.
    Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Mini-VGA to VGA cable for HDTV

    1.)I am need of some real knowledge. I just purchased an LG 720p LCD HDTV. I want to connect my iBook to the display (which is one of the main reasons i bought the tv). I use the mini-vga to vga cable that came with my iBook, i then connect it to a VGA to VGA cable (the included cable is way to short to reach,so i attach the cable that came with my tv). Boot up...the iBook detects the display under the Display tab in system prefs, but the pc-input on the TV is still blank flashing "no signal" indicating there is no input. I've also tried LG's suggestion (which is the same every time i call) to lower the resolution and reboot to no avail. (they are some real smarties over there..Lifes Good must mean for their customer service rep's!
    2.)I know there is a mini-vga to composite/s-video cable available, but i heard the resolution suffers greatly. I'm make films and would want the best (VGA) resolution possible from my iBook. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    3.) I've also heard of programs like screenspanningdoctor and DisplayConfigX will these help with my HDTV problem??
    Thanks

    No cable can extract an audio signal from your MBP's mini-Displayport. It just isn't there.
    If your monitor offers the option of selecting separate inputs for video and audio when HDMI is used for the video, just add a separate audio cable from your Mac's headphone port to the monitor's RCA audio inputs (red and white). If the monitor assumes that audio and video will be delivered together whenever its HDMI port is used, then you'll have to send the video signal via DVI or VGA, neither of which carries audio. Then your monitor should play both signals, because it won't expect both to be coming through the same cable and will find the separate audio signal.
    Alternatively, there is also this option:
    http://www.kanexlive.com/iadapt20
    It combines a USB audio signal with a mini-Displayport video signal and sends them both to the monitor or TV through a single HDMI cable. But it's pricey, and it takes up a USB port that you may not be able to spare.

  • TV-out (Mini-VGA to S-Video) Horizontal Lines problem

    Imac Intel Core Duo running 10.5.8 2ghz
    i want to watch movie files on my tv. i bought a mini vga-to-video adapter from Apple. However, whenever i hook it up to my Tv, i get these rolling horizontal lines on the TV screen. i have tried every resolution combination, unplugged all extraneous plugs from both the Tv and computer. All to no avail.
    this *****- i used to watch movies just fine on my eMac. ..if anyone has any ideas on why i get these ghost lines they will be much appreciated. thanks!

    The manual doesn't state that this will work. I recommend you contact MSI and ask.  >>How to contact MSI.<<

  • Mini VGA to Video Adapter ???????

    hi - the screen on my old emac is gone (just a vertical line in the center of the screen). i got a new emac (used). i want to transfer the files from the old one to the new one. i need to hook it up to another monitor in order to navigate the system to allow for file sharing. i want to use the "Mini VGA to Video Adapter" and use the composite video connection to hook up to a television set as this seems the cheapest and easiest route on this but many of the listings on the net say that an emac with airport extreme is required. i don't know if my old emac has airport extreme installed. i don't understand why i would need airport extreme if i only need the rca jack connection. does anybody know if this will work without airport extreme ? the old emac is a 700mhz / g4 / 40g / 1g ram - thanks, beaner

    seems that i have found the answer to this myself. finally found the actual apple page for this (see link at end of message) and 2 of the reviews for the part say that this adapter will not work on my circa 2002 700mhz emac but works on later ones.

  • I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

    I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

    VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
    A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
    You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.

  • I NEED HELP WITH THE MINI VGA TO TV CONNECTOR!! HELP PLEASE

    When I plug the Mini VGA into my TV the picture shows up but it is very small and blurry. What can I do to fix this? Thanks for an Help!
    12 inch iBook   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Okay, take a look at Knowledge Base Article #88396. It does sound like you are actually using the "Apple Video Adapter" and not the "VGA Adapter". The VGA adapter has a single connector with several rows of pins. The "Apple Video Adapter" has two connectors, one for s-video and one for composite video. The composite video cable is usually yellow (this would go with the red & white connectors for the audio).
    Have you tried Jon's suggestion to open the Displays System Preferences and try the "Detect Displays" button? The Displays pane should give you options to choose between NTSC and PAL. Do you see these options? Is the connector plugged in securely? What do you see? Is the picture small in the middle of the screen with a black border around it? Or does the picture fill up the screen but everything is oversized? What size is the TV?
    You do know that regular TVs make really, really bad computer displays, right? The iBook will only be displaying a 600 x 800 image so the Desktop will look pretty blurry if you have a TV bigger than about 12". But a DVD or the iTunes visualizations should display well.
