Alright guys,

Par Zim im unsure if any of you chaps have a PS3, however its fucking me off so it will cause no harm to ask.

I had a 40gb PS3. I mainly use it for blu-ray and have it connected to my 32" HD LG TV. Ive got it set up through a own brand GAME HDMI cable, the same one runs on my xbox 360 and has no problems.

Now, after watching a few films, my screen goes blank, I can hear, but I cant see. I check online to see the problem and find out it happens. So, I follow the instructions - re-set my PS3, set up the component cable and i get my picture back. I go through the motions of re-setting up my HDMI and still nothing. A further site i found tells me to power down, unplug and leave for a few hours. I leave it over night and the next day...fixed. npnp.

Few weeks later happens again. This time no fix. I try my 360 HDMI cable and still nothing, my PS3 HDMI cable however works on my 360. I decide ive had enough and take it into work, and i manage to swap it, under warranty, for a 80gb PS3 (result!). I bring that home, set it up, watch Hancock and done. Today I turn it on (a whole 24 hours later!) and bamn, no display. Its happened again.

Any ideas? Ive heard it could be my cheap HDMI cable. Is this true?

I just cant be fucked with it, its really annoying.

LOL PS3

tl;dr

It's a common problem, but it's pretty easy to fix.
















































Buy a 360.

You're all gay.

I have a 360, PS3 was to watch filmz.

Buy a Sony hdmi cable (made for the ps3)?

Probably a bit more expensive than third party, but might help.

I've heard it could be due to a cheap hdmi cable.

I love how you exchanged the whole PS3 when all you needed was a new HDMI cable.



Or a refund.

Obviously isn't the PS3 so hdmi cable is next yes, I've noticed the PS3 is very fussy with hdmi. For example, I've got a 4 way hdmi switch box, and all my equipment including Sky HD, Xbox 360 and HD-DVD player work through it, but the PS3 doesn't. So I've got that plugged into its own hdmi input with a branded lead.

@ Fatal - I work in GAME so exchanging the PS3, for a bigger model no less, was the easiest option.

@ Zim - Right aye thats what ive came to think, i didnt consider the cable as the problem at first as it worked in my 360 no problem, so ill hopefully pick up a branded HDMI cable today, any advice on which kind or just any high speed HDMI?

I'm using a belkin, plenty of cheap but branded ones on Amazon, even the Sony lead doesn't cost that much on there.

The postage on my HDMI lead cost more than the lead itself.

Will pop into Currys tomorrow and also check Amazon.
