so. im trying to connect my laptop with windows xp sp3 and updated drivers to my lcd-tv through a dvi-hdmi cable, but i get "no signal" on my tv! that despite that i can see "extend desktop to secondary screen" or something like that in screen resolution-settings... i have tried connecting everything and then restarting the laptop, but it does not work..

and yes, the dvi-hdmi cable works fine when i tested it on another stationary pc..

HOW do i make my laptop to display on my lcd-tv?!?! thanks in advance for help!

Best to give us the model number etc of said laptop and tv so peeps can check there specs too see if they will do it....

Also im pretty sure you wont get any audio via DVI, just saying.

just easier to test to a monitor not a tv just to make sure its not the tv thats faulty.
Then you can work from knowing its not the TV or Monitor

ok so you connected dvi out(laptop) to dvi in (monitor) and still no signal?
Sounds like something at driver level to me, havent used Nvidia or XP for a while so cant really give you much more help apart from playing around with the Nvidia control panel.

ok.. so i tried another solution... connect my laptop to my lcd-tv through s-video-to-scart cable. THAT works, but now i have the problem that it does not show colors on the lcd-tv!! there are colors on the laptop, but not on the lcd-tv! it is all gray!i read somewhere that this would solve the issue: before you start the laptop and the lcd-tv, connect all the cables to the needed places and set it to "IN" on the scart-switch. start the laptop. extend/duplicate the laptop screen to the lcd-tv. then start the lcd-tv. that process worked on my crt-tv, but it does not work on my lcd-tv!! i get the signal and audio is all working, but no colors!! HOW do i get the colors to appear on my lcd-tv?!?!
