Plugging in your flat screen

Did you ever try to hook your laptop up to a flat screen tv, but couldn't see the input jacks because the tv was on a fixed wall mount?

I ran into this problem the other week and found a solution. Take your camera phone or iPad, slide it behind the tv, shine a flashlight and take a picture so that you can see exactly where to plug in.

This works extremely well with front facing camera on an iPad. You can see the jacks when taking the photo...
