Laptop to TV issue

[stfctaff]

Hi guys

I was hoping someone could help me, I've been looking all morning but can't find the solution to my problem.

I have a fairly new laptop with a nvidea geforce 8200m G graphics card which has VGA and HDMI outputs

I want to hook it up to my TV which unfortunatly is quite old

All it has is SCART and RCA (the red yellow and white) connections.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

I believe you should be able to get a vga to rgb converter, and then you can get one of those very small rgb to scart.

would these do it?

If you have S-Video output, that'd probably be the only sure way. The first link you posted for a VGA to Component. From your description, you didn't seem to have this connection, but rather RCA. And even if your TV did have component, I beleive you need a certain type of video card to handle it. I think the VGA to S-Video/RCA worked on the older Radeons.

As for the VGA to SCART, I couldn't say since I'm in the states and we don't have SCART. But I can say for sure that if you have Svideo out, you could easily find an S-Video to RCA converter and it'd work fine with your TV.

You don't have s-video output on the machine? If not, you're pretty much limited to something like this...

Realize the quality will be pretty low with any of these converters. It's dropped quite a bit when converting to RCA/S-Video, but these converters drop it even more.
