Steve_GWER1681 says:
The serial number you provided is incorrect. Can you please provide me the correct serial number so that I can give you the right information you need?

Steve_GWER1681 says:
The 13-digit serial number is usually on a rectangular sticker, on the back of the computer (not the monitor) and is labeled S/No:. In some cases, the sticker may also be placed on the side of the computer or on the front bezel.

Steve_GWER1681 says:
If it's a laptop, you can find this information on the Customer Care label located on the bottom of your notebook and is labeled S/No:.

thanks i jus took my name out, i fixed the problem but this cxhat is anothewr example of paying tons of cahs( i bought this thing 4 weeks ago olan on doing a review soon), 750.00 from best buy with tax, and get crappy customer care after spending almost 1k.

[backithink]

your using the yellow cable and the hd cable? disconnect the yellow cable and just use the hd cables... you are confusing it with two video sources... that is if i read it right

[glc]

You NEED two video sources to have picture-in-picture........
