I think Rock Band killed my HDMI cable/port

My 60GB launch unit experienced a similar situation, but gradually instead of all at once. Eventually, one day, it did exactly what yours did. If you want to keep the 60GB model, your only option is to send it to Sony for repair. Going back to FutureShop will only yield you a completely different system based on what they have in stock... which is not going to be the 60GB model. If you have purchased it within the last 12 months and still have the receipt, Sony will cover the repairs. If you purchased prior to 12 months ago you will have to pay $180 (or something like that) to have it fixed. Also note that when you get it back a lot of saved information gets lost... even through the system backup utility process because of copyright details.

just fixed it, turned the power bar off/on and its working now. I bet the TV hdmi ports needed a reboot. its not a very expensive name-brand tv (westinghouse).
also, with my warranty, thats why i was apprehensive to exchange it, i like the backwards compatibility with my 60gb and didn't really want to get it downgraded to a 80gb.
