Did you connect the s-video cable before or after booting the laptop? Please let us know if you found someone's advice to be helpful.

i connected the cable before booting

"the other day i got a 7 pin s video cable and connected my laptop to my lg tv[using 3 colored pins]" What colors are the "3 colored pins"? Are they red, green and blue? If so, this is an s-video to component video cable. Are the sockets on your TV red, green and blue? Or are they red, white and yellow? If the latter, you need an s-video to composite video cable. S-video to composite would usually only have one plug on the "tv end", which is yellow (because s-video is video only, no audio). Please let us know if you found someone's advice to be helpful.
