I'm using an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 card in a notebook and want to use the s-video port to transfer the display to a colour television. I'm using a cord with s-video connection in one end and SCART on the other. I receive the picture on the TV, but it is only B&W! Can anyone help how can I correct this and receive the same color picture on the TV, as well? Thanks, Zsolt
The notebook is a IBM ThinkPad T30 (sorry, otherwise I'm using a HP Omnibook 500, but this problem came in front of me), the OS is Win XP SP1. The cable is new, I just bought it.
Work only 1/2 day - any other 12 hrs filled automatically...
I had a similar problem wit an N400c, it was resolved by changing a setting (can't remember exactly) in the BIOS, to PAL (Europe), it should be NTSC for US.

I've same problemi using Presario 2710EA, windows xp HE. In video card property I set PAL-B either NTSC. With PAL-B I see some color but with a lot of snow. I changed wire but I didn't solved.
I'm sad a little because I can read similar messages on other forums. Dear Ty, I did not find any of settings in the BIOS in connection with the S-Video port. Somebody have written that I need to connect the video card through the VGA connector using a VGA to SCART converter, as last chance. What do you think?
Hey Guys, I have managed to solve the problem. The cable was defective none the less it is new. As new solution I used a cable with S-video on its double than I connected an RCA cable with an RCA - S-video converter, than I used an RCA to SCART cable as conecting to the TV. The picture turned to color immediately! Is there anybody who can understand my solution?
