    I recently purchased a second hand IBM THINKPAD T21 (specifications given below).

    This has an output for S-Video however I am unable to get this to work. With my normall Desktop its not a problem however when I use the lap top with Svideo cable it does not display anythin to TV? Is there anything else that I need to do for this to work?

    Could the drivers effect this?

    Ultimately I need Phono video out so one side S-Video and the other side Phono Video.

    See picture below for the out put from LAPTOP.

    I really need this to work because thats the reason I purchased it.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Were you able to get your connection to work?

    I've recently tried to connect my T21 to a tv using s-video. I do not get the option under the device setting to select "TV".

    Please PM me if you still check these boards.
