    Hello,

    I have a Sony VGN-AR670 and it has a HDMI output and a S-Video component. I
    have a PS2 I want to plug it in and use the laptop monitor as the display. So I
    bought PS2 Connector with S-Video along with the regular white, yellow, and
    red outputs.

    I plug in the S-Video connector into the S-Video slot in the
    computer. And on my laptop Fn and F7 shows that it changes the laptop display,
    however it doesn't show my TV display of PS2. Did i do something wrong here?

    Thankyou

    Specs:

    Sony VGN-AR670
    Intel 2 Duo T7700
    Nvidia 8600gt 256mb GDDR3
    120gb x 120gb Raid Hard Drive

    The computer only has an S-Video output, meaning it can only send signals away. You need an input to receive signals, like those on a tv-tuner.
