SSFB Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Set the input on the TV to the relevant hdmi port and then press Fn + F1, might have to press it more than once to get it to push output to the hdmi port. I Googled it, looks like F1 is the button on Dell, it differs by brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 that seemed to do something but it just goes from no signal on the tv to detecting....never displays any content. Fucking old ass garbage why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Maybe your laptop is using a signal quality that your 1999 panaphonics TV can't understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Benny, don't feel bad...can't get one of my TV's to work right either. I decided I'd like to keep the screen "crack free" so I stopped fucking with it.
