When using S-video make sure none of the pins are bent, this will cause a black and white picture.
I have connected my laptop to my Samsung 32"LCD. I have used a cable with RCA audio as well as an S-video connector on one side and SCART on the other. I get sound and picture but the image is in B&W. Any ideas please?
