Does it have s-video out? It would look like this http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/dyn.../books/O2PLUS_RG/sgi_html/figures/s.video.gif

Then you could either get an s-video cable if your hotel TV has s-video input or otherwise I think you can get s-video to RCA cables.

Which is pretty hard to fine.
The common s-vid to RCA cables end up with 2 RCAs.
Only place I found one with one RCA end was at hi-fi corp~

Another issue is, how many pins is your s-vid port on ur laptop? If its like 7 pins then u're done for
If its four then go to hi-fi corp

yes...

When you rightclick on the desktop you should get options for video output. Or you can read the manual that came with the laptop.



You should get options for video showing up on tv, notebook or both.
