How to connect laptop to TV using VGA cable to scart/rca port?

I have a new-ish laptop, with HDMI and VGA ports and want to connect it to my TV, so I can use it as a second monitor...usually this is done with a double ended VGA port, but my TV is very old, and only has SCART ports and an RCA port. How can I connect my laptop to my TV with these ports?? And which cables do I need to buy?! Thanks in advance!!!
Answer:

There are multiple ways to connect a PC or laptop to your older TV. I'm not familiar with the SCART port (until you asked) but here are the basic options: 1. Connect directly from PC to TV directly on a common interface - if they have one: HDMI - the best option if available SVGA S-Video Composite Video (RCA) 2. Convert your PC video output to a TV type signal with an inexpensive converter. These usually offer multliple interfaces. Make sure you get one that integrates the audio - some cheap models handle video only. So bottom line, if you have a new PC and TV look for a way to connect them directly, most likely HDMI. If either one is old use a converter.
