Connecting a sony Vaio vgn-fe570g laptop to a Samsung Monitor

Downloading the new Event Service Update from Sony and 'unchecking' the automatic output function in Vaio Central control panel hasn't worked. Anyone have any ideas. I'm using a SVGA connecting cable. Very frustrating. The product listing didn't show the vgn-fe570g, but that's the model I have.

    Same, VGN-N365E. Sony Live support isn't much help. I'd also rather not spend $33 for Sony's fault.

    Same problem Sony Vaio to Samsung LCD TV with VGA Cable - Samsung cannot see the signal which is recognized by other monitors.

    Same problem with VGN-CR21s, it will appear on lcd for around 5 seconds then the error message "check signal cable" appears. It will work with other laptops for some reason though

There is an issue with the vga port on 2006 - 2007 sony vaio laptops. It doesn't push enough power to samsung lcds. There are all sorts of complicated solutions suggested by all sorts of people. Don't waste your time. Get yourself a connection cable with gold contacts and you'll be straight. It costs approx. $33.99. I got this one and it works fine (and I have a weak-*** TZ):

VGN TX650P FN keys and AV buttons are not working after reinstalling windows and drivers.

i,

It depends how you reinstalled the OS in the computer, was it using the recovery discs or retail XP disc. Using recovery discs if you are installing, everything should work fine. This scenario may occur if you have used a retail OS disc to reinstall the OS.

Anyways try the below mentioned troubleshooting steps:

Install the Original Video Driver from the below link:

http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNTX650PB&upd_id=2149&os_id=7

After this install Origial VAIO Event Sevices:

http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNTX690P&upd_id=1975&os_id=7

Then, install VAIO Event Service Update.

http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNTX650PB&upd_id=2287&os_id=7

At last, install the AV Mode Utility app:

http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNTX650PB&upd_id=2040&os_id=7

Install the drivers in the same order, this should work. VAIO Event Services take cares about the FN keys, after installing all these drivers, restart the computer and check if the VAIO Event Service is running at the startup.

Thanks!!!!
