My 60gb ps3 has a few issues that I assume are software related but thought Id check.

1. Sometimes I have to reset all settings back to default for it to play dvd or bluray - when I play them the screen will just go black with no response from the console (like the reset button wouldnt work), and i would have to reset all settings to solve this. This sometimes can happen with ps2 games too.

2. Sometimes the screen flickers white for a fraction of a second, every few seconds. Almost like something nearby is interfering, but there are no wireless devices and my mobile isnt the culprit. I assume this is due to my hmdi and cheap ebay hdmi to dvi adapter for use on my samsung 24inch.

I am hoping this is a software issue, as my ps3 is over a year old now:(

TIA
 
How do you mean a handshaking problem?
When default settins have been set the films work fine for a few months until it screws again - no idea why console wont respond to anything but a turn off and on at the back though when this happens.

The flickering white on the screen is an intermitent fault, which is why I think it had something to do with the cabling.
 
The format has fixed the ps2 game and dvd/bluray issue for now, whether it comes back time will tell.

The flickering is intermittent and really annoying. The picture is fine, then it is almost like one frame every 3/4 seconds is white/grey.

Have tried a friends hdmi, and no difference. The problem only seems to be there when in 1080p, but this could just be chance.
Could it be the dvi to hmdi adapter I am using??
I am now thinking there is something wrong with the ps3, yet it is over a year old:(

Kind of like this, but it does it on the startup dash as well as some games, inc ps2/bluray/dvds
