If There's no TV Out on Laptop

[perwil]

Hi!

I've always had desktop computers so now that my sister got a laptop
I'm wondering:

I don't think she has a TV Out connection on her laptop. Is it
possible to use the monitor-out socket to connect to a TV in some way?
Is it otherwise possible to exchange graphic-cards (to one with a TV
Out connection) in a laptop like you can with a desktop computer?

Thanks!

"Is it otherwise possible to exchange graphic-cards (to one with a TV

no, the reason laptops are so small is because they have integrated chips(built into the motherboard). so there are no expansion pci/similar slots on a laptop. You can have an integrated s/video out plug though.

An s-video port at the back of the laptop? Well that's the only kind of TV-Out port I know of. That's what I don't think she has. Are there other kinds?

Thanks for helping!

not any that i know of. but there should be a usb adapter (look online for the adapter) that can change usb to s/video so you can get it to work. Try searching through www.pricewatch.com
