Tv problems (PS3 HDMI)

Meloco · 7 Jan 2008 at 20:45

I've just tried my PS3 on the tele i'm taking to uni via HDMI and the tv is reporting that there is "No Signal". I've tried re-setting the PS3, and tried with AV cables (which work), and then setting the HDMI manually. But this failed. Has any1 else got any ideas? It is a brand new tele, fully HD supported. I think the HDMI port might be buggered? Which is strange because the component worked with my 360, and all the other ports out of it work.

Did you try holding the reset button down for a few seconds on the PS3 untill it beeps a couple of times? This will force the PS3 to auto detect the TV output, so if you have just the HDMI lead plugged in the PS3 will use that.

yup tried that with no luck

You haven't got the 720i 1080p set to high for your tv have you?

Not that i know of. With my other tv it's on 1080i, but when i try and use the hdmi on the other tele it says no signal. But if i use "AV2" (composite) it will work and automatically go to 576i. I just can't work out why it says "No Signal"...

Could be because the 1080i is set to high for your new tv try unticking all the boxes. Then use your hdmi. Worth a try.

Aero

the problem is i can't get to that menu, because it is trying to set the hdmi through the av cable.

Thanks for all the replys, but i think it's the actual TV so it's going back for a replacement tommorow.

The other thing is i've had the PS3 crash during Pes2008 demo, and the browser twice last night, and when hlolding down the "PS" button during a game launch to quit it, a God almighty screech came out and wouldnt stop! Then when i reset the console i had half a picture!! Also this morning, when i tried to quit F1 it re-setted the console... All seems to be ok now though..

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it time already that i sent it back to the shop??? Or just an unlucky day???
