    Should be press Fn and F8. Pressing once will generally leave laptop screen on, and output to video output, twice will generally turn off Laptop Screen and turn on only video card.

    May be i was not clear in my description but i mean not the 15-pin to screen output, but the s-vhs connector on the back of my PC to a television. Fn F8 doesn't work for that.

    Regards
