i ordered the nokia CA-75U cable that many people have reported works for them to display video from phone on the tv. when i connect it to the tv it blinks for a second but then goes blank and there is no signal. i tried switching the rca's around with no success. do i need a program to do this or something? also, the phone is not rooted does that matter?
 
Have you tried going to Settings ( from the menu key ) then Display, scroll down to TV-Out and made sure the TV-out check box is ticked?


All the best.

You say you have NTSC selected. Is your TV set to NTSC also?

my tv is ntsc. i am in the us. i have tried both the pal and ntsc region settings just to see what i got. both not working
 
The only other thing I can suggest is to try all the input channels available on your TV. My TV needs to be set to AV3.
I'm using the same cable as you and have no issues connecting.

well in a last ditch effort to figure this out i rooted my phone and it still doesn't work. i guess i'll have to give up:(:(
 
nice one, i didnt realise the Nokia CA-75U could be used! i have 2 of them in my old N96 Box, going to try shortly - also willing to send someone the other if they want it.
