I am trying to connect my VAIO Laptop - VGN-FS115B to my Samsung LCD television without success. It would appear that my laptop it not sending a signal to the television. Has anybody else encountered this problem.

What cable/connection are you using? composite, s, monitor?
With my XP: Start/Control Panel(Classic View)Display/under properties, select settings
Just found above may not help.
Function key Fn + F5 will allow me display select.
Good luck

I have been successful. Follow these instructions and all the best.

Hi,
I had the same problem with my Sony Vaio VGN-FS115B trying to use my SAMSUNG LE32N7 series LCD TV. This is a known issue with Sony notebooks and some patches must be downloaded and a setting changed on the notebook. To get it to work I installed the following upgrades from the Sony support site:
Vaio : Support : Drivers and Updates
1) BIOS Update R0044J1
2) VAIO Event Service 2.3.00.08110
3) Sony Utilities 6.4.0.06290
4) Instal Pro?Wireless Network Adapter Driver 2915ABG

Also go into Intel website and download latest grahics chipset/drivers/utilities

The following setting is also required:

VAIO Control Centre --> Plug & Display --> UNCHECK Enable automatic output function i.e. DISABLE it.

Restart the Notebook. On having restart hit Fn + F7 to enable VGA output and the PC option should now be available from the source list on the monitor.

It worked for me.
