    Hi everyone. I have an Inspiron 1501 and i have attached it to my tv. I attached a vga cable to the laptop and rca cbles to the tv. I am receiving two displays on the laptop, but nothing is on the tv. I manual says that the vga is for video. Does that mean it can show video a televison via cable? If I can I would like to know how to accomplish this task. Any assistance will be appreciated. mary:confused

    You need to set graphics output from the Dell via the Fn+F7 ? key combination, also change the input on your TV to PC.
