Geforce 6600 256MB TV-Out?

[Ascythopicism]

Hey guys. I recently bought a computer from MagicMicro.com .. I got an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor, et cetera, et cetera, and a Geforce 6600 256MB video-card... Now, when I got it, it came with a cable for the TV-Out.. However, the cable doesn't seem to fit into where it's supposed to.. Has anyone ever heard of this? Can I somehow be over-looking something?

you might be talking about the S-video out, make sure your television is capable of accepting of that kind of table

i meant cable, not table 🙂

No, what I meant was.. I can't insert the cable into the PC... the yellow part goes to the TV fine, but the other end doesn't fit into the video-card...

you sure about it, I have a 6600 also right in my hands. Try make sure all the pins perfectly matched to the holes of the vid cards s-video out.

Well, yes, I was looking at the pins, and they didn't appear that they would fit..

Hmm the cable should have a black end and yellow one. The yellow goes to the tv. and the black must go to the vid card. here's what mines look like

Yes, I'm sure it's the right cable.. it's just the pins don't seem like they would match.. Inside the cable, there are 4 pins, and below them a tiny strip of plastic.. Is that what yours looks like too?

That sounds like a standard s-video cable config. Just make sure you have it oriented right and plug it in.

Well, I'm sure I don't lack the skill to slide a cable into it's properly allocated slot, so something must be off.. Do you think if I break off that small piece of plastic on the inside of the video-card's end of the cable, that it will make a difference?
