You laptop would need an RCA to USB converter plus any software necessary to display video on the laptop. Do a web search for:
"rca to usb" adapter for laptop
(with the quotes as shown above), and you'll find some for about 20 bucks online. You'll need to read the details to make sure they can display full-screen. You can probably buy locally too, and ask the salesperson if a product will display full-screen, (with the ability to return it the same day).
Clean the cartridge connection with Isopropyl alcohol. Also clean where the cartridge is inserted (an old toothbrush works the best). This corrected the issue for me.
I had a similar issue. My Smart Cycle worked for a while, then it progressively became more and more temperamental, failing at unusual times, not turning on consistently, then finally quit powering on entirely. Turns out there was dirt & grime (maybe a little corrosion) on the game cartridge and plug. The solution -- clean with Windex and q-tips.
Here's the post that led me to that conclusion: http://www.fixya.com/support/t317354-smart_cycle_fisher_price
