this is what i find at this time:

link: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...66&keywords=Tv cables&mnf=

if you have a S-Cable outlet on your Laptop? one of these may work "S-Cable connecter has a O with 4pins female in it"

Video cards, Tv-Cards, Video capture cards, come with this to them. outlet/input feeds.

laptop would have one it be outlet, i have a S-cable to RCA cable adaptor, came with my Video card
===========================================
ok i found this, basic i call it in and ask about a VGA to TV on my cellphone. (call freebie anyways no charge)
