Default not displaying

I am using a different TV since it is smaller and the other one is still in storage but was able to get this out (I couldn't get any games but I have some installed)

I have hooked this up VIA HDMI and Composite which won't output to the Insiginia TV. Should I try Component or is there a way to fix this since I can't pull out the TV until next year or so.

Start it in safe mode. Chances are it's set up for a different resolution that the TV can't output.
  • Check that the power indicator on the PlayStation 3 system is solid red.
  • Press and hold the PlayStation 3 system’s power button for ten seconds. The PlayStation 3 system will shut down.
  • Release the power button.
  • Press and hold the power button for seven seconds. Two short beeps will be emitted and a message will be displayed on-screen.
  • Press the PS button on the wireless controller to start the PlayStation 3 system in Safe Mode.

What are the Safe Mode options?
  1. Restart System: Exit Safe Mode and start the PlayStation 3 system normally.
  2. Restore Default Settings: Restore all default settings and delete PlayStation Network account information. You will need to activate your PlayStation 3 system again in order to play downloaded content.
  3. Restore File System: Attempt to repair all areas of the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) where files can be saved. If corrupted data cannot be recovered, it may be erased.
  4. Rebuild Database: Return adjusted settings to the default configuration and restore files. Messages, playlists, etc
  5. Restore PS3 System: Perform a quick format of the PlayStation 3 system memory in order to restore the system.
  6. System Update: Update the PlayStation 3 system software via a mass storage device.

You shouldn't need to change any settings, when it boots in safe mode it should default to 480p and display on your screen automatically, just choose to start the PS3 normally and then change the resolution settings in the system menu.
