Hi evry1 any help on the following subject much appreciated. heres the problem: I have just purchased a samsung le26r74bdx TV however when i plug my laptop in with the VGA cabel (TV has vga input) the TV will not pick it up. However, if i plug a different laptop in and select PC from the list of inputs on the TV menu(this was previously greyed out and unselectable) it works perfectly, and i am able to select PC. I can then unplug the vga and put it back into my original laptop and the picture is perfect. However if i switch it back onto TV or Xbox i can no longer select PC unless i use the other laptop again. the display adapter is listed in device manager as "VIA/S3G unichrome pro IGP. I have been on to fujitsu siemens website(laptop manufacturer) and downloaded and reinstalled correct graphics card drivers. also checked samsung website there are no drivers for the TV.
 
Well you said that you "can" use your laptop, it’s just that the TV at first doesn't recognise it even thou the signal is defiantly there.

So that rules out a dodgy output signal. And points to a detection issue.

I would suggest trying another medium of connection.
Can he use the "red white yellow" connections (sorry I have forgotten the name for them), I assume there is such a converter.
