Can you help, I need a lead, possibly a S video to scart lead?!?

Jo4

Can someone please tell me where I can get a lead to connect my laptop to my tv? Acording to the laptops booklet I need a S-video lead which connects into the back of the tv. The tv has 2 scart leads both of which are currently in use so I need an adapter/extension or something that will let me have 3 scarts connected to the tv at once.

Can anyone please tell me where I could get what I need and how much I should expect to pay?

Argos just pop down to your local Argos store they have a couple of different versions of this for 3 scarts or
This for a svideo to scart/component adapter from Amazon
Or This from PC world again svideo to scart /componant adapter.

Where could I get the cable I need?

Youll need something like a scart extension block with or without a switcher

Sorry, thanks! The lead or the extension block is not cheap, I wonder if I could get it cheaper elsewhere?!?

Are you sure that your TV does not have an S video socket under a flap at the front of the set or possibly on one side near the front?
