CJ Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 We are trying to connect a laptop to an LCD TV out here in the bar. We are running a cable from the laptop to thye RGB input port on the TV but it is showing as no signal. What are we doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meko Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 have you hit the FN key and relevant F key to tell the laptop it's using the external port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallshinyant Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Try giving the make an model of laptop i might be able to dig up which one of the function keys your meant to use.. e.g HP laptop Fn + f4 keys (think might be same for dell's as well off the top of my head) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexJames Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Or do it through the control pannel and make sure that you have the correct screen enabled. Meko is correct in that some laptops are not set to have this screen enabled automatically... Usually, there is a symbol like |*| ... but start in the display settings on the control pannel, its usually in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
