    I recently bought this cable so I could use it for my:

    Dell Latitude D620, my Dell Latitude E6410 and my Dell Inspiron 9300.

    However, the cable shows only interference when I try to use it with the E6410, and nothing with the D620 or the 9300.

    The TV I have does not have an HDMI input, neither does the laptops... I've used an S-video cable and sound-cable before w/ the 9300 and that worked, but I do not have them any more - the 2 other laptops do not have the S-video output either, so the VGA to RGB would be perfect for me. I just need to figure out how to make it work.

    Can someone help me with this issue so I can get this sorted out? Thank you.

    Does anyone know what the problem could be? I attached red to red, green to white and blue to yellow as stated.

    Please help me get this sorted out.

    You have to output the correct signal to make it work, and as the picture indicates the graphic chips must support component video. Try googling for some tutorials for custom video modes.
