Occasionally, I would like to play videos that I have on my laptop on the TV... (just the very odd occasion)... and would like to use the red, yellow and white sockets on the front with a cable from my laptop....
I presume, this would need to be a USB one end with the red, yellow, and white on the other.... ( as I can play video from my stills camera on the tv ).... can anyone suggest a source for this cable....
I have done a google search, but cannot find anything from a number of "cable suppliers"...

All the USB / Composite devices are video capture types...I have one myself to transfer videos to DVD and that's the wrong way for your application.

Quote First check with your PC & Video Card manual or manufacturer to make sure that your VGA card has TV-Out function capability through the VGA connector to ensure this cable will work as some old VGA cards do not have this capability
It is purely a cable no "bits" to do the conversion. OK if your cad does TV out.

The laptop is only 2 years old... (Dell Insipron 1545) and it does have a nine pin D socket next to the USB sockets.
so would this do the job?

No, it will have a 15-pin VGA socket. (look again)
Which is what you need.

As for returns.... by the "sale of goods act".... if it doesn`t do what it says on the tin.......plays a big part .
so If I bought something that is "supposed" to work as described, and it .....
A) doesn`t
B) only occasionally
C), needs lots of tweeks which are not permanent.
D) performs so badly that it is virtually unusable..... etc.
then it is "not of merchantable quality"... and therefore a full refund or replacement is the only option open to the SUPPLIER...
If a replacement is equally as bad, or worse, then the full refund comes into play.

They MAY accept the return but I don't think the SOG will come into it in this case.

If you purchase on line then the DSR come into play and you have seven days from the day after you receive it to inspect and make sure you are happy with it before rejecting.
You can even send it back if you simply don't like the colour. The only proviso is you may have to pay return postage unless the supplier doesn't make that clear before purchase.
