    Guys,

    I'm trying to connect my NB to a TV via S-Video. It did work, but there are no colors on the TV side. I've tried to change the signal between NTSC, PAL and SECAM. But still, TV shows no colors... Any idea? I'm using Vista on Radeon X1350...

    Thx.

    With my TV I have to press the AV button on the tv's remote twice, once for the AV channel where the picture is black and white and second time to get a separate s-video channel with colour.

    Unfortunately, there's no second-AV on my TV... Is that means I can't ever use my S-Video on my TV on a right setting? Is the problem my TV or (I hope not) my GPU?

    I don't think the problem lies with your GPU. Try hooking your notebook up to another TV and see if you encounter the same issue.
