    Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

    Ok I've got a head scratcher here. Was playing Rock Band yesterday and the screen blanked out. I have 32'' Samsung LCD. It no longer read that I had an hdmi cable plugged in. I troubleshooted everything. Reset the system . The AV still worked. So I bought a new HDMI cable and still no dice. Anyone have an suggestions?

      Mine's been havin issues too lately, George.
      The old school "blow in it" trick has been working but I notice I have to do it fairly often. Use a can of air and blow out your ports and see if it helps. Ps3 and tv.

      I also have had success with shutting off the tv a few times until works.

      Strange this is an issue.

        My sony does this periodically. The only way I can get it to recognize the hdmi port is to unplug it from its power strip, wait a few seconds and plug it back in and turn it on.

          I've tried unplugging it. I let it sit for a few hours.

            Nice app, for anyone on android there is a app called PSN friends that is similar and does the same thing.

              Well I found the problem...one of the connectors in the ps3 was bent. So I tried to bend it back with a needle and it broke off. That probably means I'm screwed.

                  Alright for anyone in the know. I turned my PS3 off last night just fine, red light was showing as usual. I went to turn it on today using the controller like normal and it wouldnt turn on, got up and noticed the red light wasnt there, it was drawing no power but the power cord was plugged in. I firmly pushed the plug to make sure it wasnt loose and that did nothing. I unplugged it and plugged it back in at the PS3 and that fixed it but is this a problem I need to worry about going forward?

                    Don't want to scare you but I never had a problem with my fatty PS3 till about 10 dyas before it died.

                      Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

                      The other night, I went to turn on my PS3. Black screen. Tried everything including:
                      1. removing my HDMI switcher and plugging it directly into the tv
                      2. trying different HDMI cables
                      3. switching out the hard drive (from a 256GB to the 60GB that it came with)
                      4. trying all the hold down the power button combinations to reset the video.

                      Finally I tried plugging the PS3 from my bedroom into the same tv. When that didn't work I tried the PS3 in question into my bedroom tv and it worked. No problems. So I can only conclude that the tv in my living room no longer likes my PS3 after about six years of using it there. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

                      Thanks in advance.

                        Strange, this is a slim as my fatty died a few months ago and I was forced to replace it with this one. My slim has worked just fine since that post but I wasnt sure if there was a power outage while I was at work that it might effect the PS3 showing back up as normal.

                          Since it's working, I would guess a small surge, a small voltage sag or maybe a brief power interruption tripped some safety circuit in the power supply. As long as it's working and not close to being out of warranty, I wouldn't worry about it.

                            I presume the warranty is a year with Sony? I've only had the system for maybe 3-4 months tops and its worked just fine since this happened but I get a bit paranoid after my fatty kicked the bucket out of the blue.

                              A year, but chances are if you bought it with a credit card it may be extended. Mastercard doubles warranty up to 12 months.
