    connect the laptop and the TV, switch to the AV mode where the signal should appear and press the FN key and F4 (I think it was F4; in any case it is the key with a small sreen drawn on it).
    FN + F4 once transfers the signal to the TV and turns off the laptop screen
    FN + F4 twice turns on both TV and laptop screen.
    FN + F4 third time - turns off the signal to the TV.

    Try to change channel on your TV and switch back to S-video in after you triggered the video out on your laptop.
