If I understand correctly, you have a 3.5mm plug into your Samsung laptop, which is then connected to your Sony surround system via the red/white RCA plugs. I assume for the input to the Sony you're using a standard audio-in. I would check the speaker setup settings on the Sony to ensure that the "bass" and not just LFE (low frequency effects) are being sent to the sub-woofer. My understanding is that LFE is found only on Dolby or DTS encoded soundtracks, and if the subwoofer is limited to just LFE you wouldn't be getting any bass when listening to two channel stereo from your laptop.

You would be better trying to connect from the laptop VGA to the TV Scart. But you will still need to set your laptop up to output a screen resolution that the TV can display.

Most likely problem in this instance is a loose dc socket. it is a cheap fix or you can re-solder it yourself, if you have the ability.

You'll probably have to go to Samsung's website and download the proper drivers for it.

The monitor keeps flashing on and off? Or does your system keeps trying to reboot which causes the monitor to go on and off. Does the screen turn Blue before it goes off?

you need to select the screen you can use because most of laptops don't support to use both screens(laptop screen & monitor / plasma tvs that have VGA port) at once.. you can select your screen by check on F function buttons on your keyboard ...you can identify that button easily because it shows two screens on it just press that button you will choose the screen you can use.

Why do you use VGA-HDMI cable? This TV works fine with VGA cable - it has VGA plug.
Or if your notebook has DVI output, then you can use DVI/HDMI cable and connect it to the TV to plug named DVI/HDMI (only one HDMI input is marked as DVI on TV).
I suppose that over HDMI the TV supports only some standard resolutions, but over VGA it supports almost every resolution laptops use. You can find supported resolutions for each input in the TV manual. Try setting the same resolution on the laptop.

I had the same problem with my Samsung series 6 32" Lcd. After many hours of trying different settings and banging my head on the wall I found the solution. What the problem is your VGA cable not supporting the high resilotion of your Samsung TV. The simple solution is to buy a new VGA cable that supports HD. Take a look at this site you need something like this one! Hope this helps.....C
