I have a sony notebook VGN-S150 which uses the ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphic card. On the ATI web site, this card has the S-Video output (to connect to a TV). On my notebook, despite it says it uses this card, it DOES NOT have the S-Video connection. It only has the VGA connector (to connect to an external monitor). However, the original 9200 card (on the ATI Web Site) says that this card has the 'Integrated TV Encoder' and I found this 'VGA to TV S-Video & RCA Out Adapter' on ebay, I'm wondering if this will allow me to output to a TV instead of the external monitor.
I was told that notebook manufacturer uses only the main chip from the graphic card and not necessarily the entire card. How do I find out if ALL the functionalities has been built into this chip? I online chatted with Sony support people and they didn't know.
