PS3 Problem

[TW]Fox · 28 Mar 2011 at 17:14

Hi guys,

I have a PS3 connected to my Iiyama 22" TFT using a HDMI > DVI adaptor.

It has worked perfectly for 3 months.

It was working fine this morning. I turned it off.

Just turned it back on this evening and it came up with a message telling me that an available HDMI source had been detected, and did I want to pass audio over HDMI. I ticked no, and ever since then all I can see on my monitor is a 'Signal is out of range' error.

What is it doing and why? I've not connected anything new to it, I've not changed any settings, nothing. It's done this all by itself. I suspect it's reset itself to some sort of default setting that my monitor cannot display.

The question is, how do I... unset this? I can't get any output onto the screen now!

I have tried holding down the power button for 6 seconds until it beeps at startup. This restores video - but again it asks if I want to output audio over HDMI. As soon as I say no, bang, out of range again

Thanks!

Happens to me when i use my ps3 on hdmi and then want to use it on my tv that has no working hdmi input. I have to hook both moniotrs up and setup the source im going to use, its a pain.

But the odd thing is I've not gone to connect it to anything. It's still sat on my shelf and connected to the same source it was this morning when it worked fine!

do 6 second reset.

say yes to audio, then go into audio and say output from all sources simultaneously or something along those lines.

so audio is outputted through hdmi and optical at the same time.

Yeah ive had similar and to fix it I had to hold in the touch button on the PS3 front to reboot it, im sure it will beep twice iirc and then when you restart its as if you are setting it up to a tv fresh again.

Why it happens idk.

used to do it when i moved the ps3 upstairs and put it on the non hdmi tv. Hold the power button down until it beeps twice, should fix it.

This sounds like your best bet Fox.
