Looking for a device to connect my 700m laptop to a television without a S-Video input. I've heard that in a lot of cases, it just shows up as black and white.

Was looking at these on eBay - anyone have any experience with them ?

this one didnt work for me at all on my 700m. i had the adapter from an earlier inspiron model and when i tried using it, i never had a video signal. eventually after tryin everythin i could with that damn adapter, i went to best buy and got a converter which worked perfectly for using my 700m as a DVD player on my TV.

Thx for your response.

Was this the convertor you bought from Best Buy ?

Do you know if it has any circuitry inside ? How many pins does the S-video jack have ?

I saw this on Amazon and someone seems to have been able to make it work with the 700m too.

i had actually gotten some kind of box thing that converted it. i would plug the s-video into the box and then would use an rca cable from the other side of the box to the tv. but those converter adapters should work i would think.

Do you remember how much you paid for it ?

no i dont. prob 20 somethin. just go to best buy or circuit city or somethin and just go to the video section and look around. i had no idea what i was lookin for when i went last year and then talked to a guy and later found that.
