TV-out to my TV only shows black and white image.

Hi everyone,

I have an AMS 968L barebone system that's running perfectly, the only thing is I've been trying to connect it to my TV through the onboard Intel graphic chipset with both S-video and composite outputs. It appears that both connections to my TV show black and white picture. For the S-video output, I used an adaptor that converts S-Video to composite video jack. I've never experience this before so I'm asking for advice or answers to solve my problem.

Any reply is certainly appreciated.

Thanks

hmmm... maybe your TV is a black n' white TV?

I had this problem once (without the svideo to composite converter) and found out that my svideo cable wasn't plugged all the way into the TV set. Once I secured the cable, the color came back. So double-check your connections and make sure that everything is plugged in securely.

Make sure that the output is set to the right format, NTSC if in the US, PAL if in UK/Europe

Could be a bent/broken pin in the s-video cable. I had that happen once which caused the output to be in black and white.

As gdana said above, make sure all your connections are good.
