Linking Vaio to LCD TV problem

qhuba — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 18:35:01 GMT

Hi All

I try to connect my FS315M to samsung LCD tv (via vga cable). At the beginning i thought that is a tv or cable issue but tv and cable work ok with ibm laptop. Don't know what is wrong, Vaio detects second monitor and enables to switch to lcd display but tv does not detects that pc is connected (tv detects pc source plugged in even when IBM is turned off). I'd previously had Lg lcd tv connected and everything was ok. Does someone have any idea how to solve that problem?
Many thanks

Hi qhuba and welcome to Club Vaio.

Unfortunately there is a known problem when connecting some Vaios to some Samsung displays by VGA cable. There is an incompatibility in the wiring of the VGA sockets.

I don't think a solution has been found (and the 'SEARCH' is not working on this forum).

My memory is not that good but I think the only way was to disable the Vaio Event Service - this means other things like your function keys will not work.

Sorry.

Unfortunately disabling Vaio Event Service didn't solve problem.
I wonder if there is another way or cable to make connection work?
Thanks
