getting laptop display via VGA/HDMI converter

[esmecaulfield]

hi all,
i'm trying to connect my toshiba laptop to my panasonic tv. as this lap top only has VGA (out) and my TV only has HDMI (in). I've bought a VGA/HDMI adapter - I can't get it to work. any ideas on what could be going wrong? i've been through appropriate control panels ad nauseum - but i still can't get my display up on the TV. Thanks in advance.

Hi, what kind of adapter did you bought? You need a converter for VGA to HDMI. This is one of them : http/www.ebay.com/itm/VGA-to-HDMI-Cable-PC-Laptop-Computer-to-TV-Converter-Adapter-HD-Sound-HDTV-1080P-/251379332656
