Try using a different cable. Pin 4 is Color (upper right when looking
at the male end of the cable). If the cable is damaged, you can get
greyscale only. I've had this happen to me before with a bent pin.
Also, the color encoding may be incompatible between your laptop and TV:
"the colours have to be encoded in some way, and as such NTSC, PAL and
SECAM signals are all decidedly different through S-Video."
