VGA output to TV's (RCA components)

I have dell inspiron 9100 notebook.  I have no problem connecting the S-Video to TV's (RCA components).  But I'm not sure why it doesn't work when I tried to use the VGA output to TV's (RCA components)

How exactly are you managing s-video to composite video (RCA jacks)? They are completely different connectors.

What do you mean by VGA to TV's (RCA components)?  Again, a VGA connector is different from RCA jack.

Laptop's S-Video output  to TV's RCA  yellow(Video) jack.  I have no problem displaying a second monitor to the tv using S-Video output.

But when I tried to use the laptop's VGA out to connect to the TV's RCA yellow(video) input, it has no signal.

please look at the VGA to RCA cable below

ok.....I used to have a second display monitor using the laptop's S-video output connected with the TV's RCA input.  That worked very well for watching movies on the TV.   Now I can't seem to find my S-video connector so I was trying to use the VGA Port on the laptop to connect with the TV's RCA video input.  But the TV shows no signal

I think am not understanding you properly.  Are you trying to obtain dual view, or in other words display video with the S-video and the RCA video connectors at the same time on two different external devices?

Thanks,
