Signal inputs for the tv should be:

TV

AV

COMP1

COMP2

RGB

HDMI1

HDMI2

 

You should have these input signals.If you do not have RGB try COMP1 or 2

When you hook the laptop to tv,you need to change the tv's input to RGB.

What do you mean set the tv 2 rgb? it is a  Hitachi P42H401...42" 1080i

Hook the laptop up to the tv and then re-boot the laptop.When it starts the picture should be up?....

 

Have you set the input on the tv to RGB?...

Im not seeing a rgb input on my tv settings

My tv only has input 1-2

hmdi 1-2

You said you were using component cables to the tv from laptop right?

 

If you are the set input to input 1 or 2.

 

The only way it will work with HDMI1 or 2 is if you connect from laptop HDMI port to tv HDMI port.

Thanks for your help. I guess this tv will not support a pc. My laptop has the s video output and so does the tv but it will not see the signal when i hook them up. I opened media center and it didnt even see my tv tuner. Im just lost.

Hook it up S-video to S-video,and then re-boot laptop,you never said if you tried this or not?

Ive tried that a few times. Still no go!
