Howdy all,

600E 2645-5BU No TV output signal. New TV-out dongle.

BIOS test OK, res set to 16bit, TV enabled in NeoMagic display tab.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance

Vaguely recall seeing something like this before... A search of the archives using various terms such as "s-video", "video" , "problem", and "600e" yields these threads:

It may be a driver problem or a specific turn-on procedure (have TV on and connected BEFORE turning on the 600E). Hope that helps.

If what rkawakami said doesn't work, it might be the TV. I really don't like S-Video since I have had several problems using that connection in the past.
