Laptop switches to TV, to laptop, and back again every 5 sec.
I have hooked up my Dell Inspiron 15 (N5050) with Windows 7 Home Premium to my big screen TV. I use a VGA cable, a converter box, and a s-video cable. The TV receives the signal fine, but there’s a problem:
When I plug the VGA cable into the laptop, I get images on both screens (laptop and TV) for about 5 secs. Then, both screens go black and then I only get images on the laptop. Then, after 5 secs, the screen goes black and then I get images on both screen again....and so on. Because I only have 5 secs, I don't have time to make any changes unless I unplug the VGA cable.
Also, each time the screens switch (from 2 to 1 back to 2 to 1...) for five secs, I hear the sound that you hear when you plug in a thumbdrive. It’s as if I’m unplugging the VGA cable every 5 secs and plugging it back in.
Any ideas?
