    Hi!

    I'm trying to connect these laptops with a video projector to no avail. The same projector worked fine with my old S170 and S270. The TX650 shows something like mis-synched screen, but there is nothing for S580. Rebooting didn'† help either. The external monitor works fine though.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

    Cheers,

    Hi again;
    Here is the reply I got from Sony:

    >Thank you for contacting Sony Online Support.

    >We regret the difficulties you are experiencing. Please ensure >that the connections are secure. We suggest that you refer >the "Connecting a Projector" section of the User Guide of the >SONY VAIO VGN-S580P Notebook for detailed instructions. >Please refer the following link to download the User Guide:

    As someone said before, this is one of the most useless information I can expect! I explicitly mentioned the same projector worked with other vaio laptops, but it suggested to check the cable, and manual just shows how to connect the cable!

    I'm still desperately waiting for a help from users.
    Thanks in advance..
