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."
