    I've got a dv6000 running Vista 64-bit SP2 that I frequently connect to my TV for watching Netflix content.

    I connect it via S-Video.

    Tonight, when I hit fn+F4 (like I always do) to output to my TV, the screen just "flicks" for a split-second but refuses to display on my TV.

    I rebooted a few times, to no avail.

    The only things that have changed on the laptop between the last time it worked and now are: installed free trial of NOD32 antivirus and ran CCleaner's cleaning program and registry cleaner like I normally do weekly.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Dunno, did you try a different TV? Different cable?

    Maybe a Roku streaming box is in your future. :D They are inexpensive and connect to your wireless like a laptop.
