Display of a slideshow on TV, from laptop, only shows in B&W. Can anyone
please advise how to get the display in colour? (The connection is via
cable from the S-Video socket on Packard Bell laptop to a scart connector on
TV).

Hi Michael,

1) I remember I had this issue before when trying to play a DVD from
my laptop on the TV. Sometimes you have to press a function key on the
laptop to switch to 'TV mode'. Is there such a setting on the laptop?
On the Thinkpad I think it is Fn F7.

2) The other thing to try is to it go into your TV settings. Is there,
within your TV, some kind of setting that allows you to control or
configure the display for S-Video? You may want to try that.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Gary Hendricks

You MOST LIKELY have a bad S-Video connection ... cable or connectors. I
have HAD the same problem.

Hi Jerohm,

I don't think it is a bad S-video connection. I remember I checked my
cables and connectors many times and could not figure it out. I'd put
my bet on a Function key or TV setting.

I'll take that bet ;0) !
Really, you MAY be right, but I have TWO cheap S-Video cable that work just
great!
... but only in B&W!
