Edtv Plasma

What do I need to do to connect my laptop to Plasma Tv?
This is what I have:
MX6450 Notebook
Video Integrated RadeonĀ® X300 based graphics
1 - VGA External Connector
Headphone / Audio Out
Panasonic TH-42PD50U 42" Flat-Panel EDTV Plasma TV
2 composite, 2 S-Video, 2 component, 1 HDMI inputs
StarTech VGA/HD with Audio to HDMI Format Converter
Plus all the cables to connect them together. However when I connect them, there are no pictures or sound. I've tried using the Fn key, but my options are "Monitor" or "Laptop". So I select the monitor which gives me nothing.
So I can even connect them together or did I waste my time/money?
(An EDTV with a HDMI port?)
You'll have to check your laptop's manual on how to send the signal to an external monitor. Most of the this is a combination of the "fn" key and one of the F-keys on top (F8?)
You may need to change the resolution on your screen to match the resolution on your laptop to match what the TV can handle.
Note that the VGA port on your laptop only carries video - you'll need a separate cable for the audio. You can connect your laptop's headphone out to the VGA convertor you're using.
Of course, I am assuming that the HD converter you're using is actually compatible with your TV... I'm a bit confused as to how it is you have a EDTV that has a HDMI port - EDTV is NOT HDTV. EDTV refers to 480p, whereas HDTV is 720p, 1080i or 1080p - so it could very well be that your converter isn't compatible with your TV. You'll have to check the documentation for both your TV and converter to see what resolutions they support.
