Problem with Picture on PS3 - Blu-ray Forum

jw · 07-02-2008, 04:27 AM

Ok, I have the 60GB PS3, from Nov 2006 and today the kids tried to play it and there is no picture?

I have sound through the HDMI but no picture. I tried another HDMI port with the same result. Question is has anyone else experienced this? I have tried troubleshooting it by using another hdmi and the s-video cable ...........Not sure what else it could be.

No sweat as I do still have remaining months on my CC advantage warranty, so I am covered there

Anybody have any suggestions that I have NOT tried?
the TV plays fine by the way

you can try another component with hdmi to see if it works on the hdmi input on the tv. hold the power button to reset the audio/video.

I just explained I did, I used the hdmi that I use for the dvd and the same result but the dvd player works fine

You didn't mention holding the power/standby button.

i read that you used another cable. im talking about using another electronic device (component) that has hdmi out to rule out the hdmi ports on your tv. to further conclude that it is the ps3

You have to hold the power button for a few seconds(5) until it beeps 3 times then let go. The PS3 will then automatically reset to the correct resolution and the screen will magically appear

This usually happens if you move the ps3 from a hdtv to a standard tv.

I've had a 60 gb since Nov. 2006 as well. It is a nice feature Sony has there but it did freak me out the first time it happened to me.
