you might need a new HDMI cable.... cause mine did that also and it was the hdmi cable(it was damaged and only played in 480i when my tv was new and played up to 1080p)

I have gone into the settings, and switched it to hdmi, screen goes blank and then goes back to the previous setting.kbeeper69

ok this is what you do, first you press the the reset button until it turns on... u keep presing it until it turns off again and on again ( dont move ur finger from the buttom) and ur ps3 will reset itself, and finish

i"ll trie it again. ok did nothing same as before.kbeeper69

try a new hdmi cable you can get some from newegg.com for $4.99. Also did you goto display setiongs and choose 720p and 1080i?

yes i did go into the settings and changed it, but did not work....I also did purchase the new HDMI cable it still the same thing...no 1080i, with the hdmi cable in get no anything, the only way that i get a pic is by using the componet cables..kbeeper69

doesnt that sound like your tv is damaged to you? if you can try the ps3 on another tv and that should confirm it.

yeah I would so the same thing if my other hdmi componets didnt work, but they do...it is only the ps3 that will NOT workkbeeper69

Did you try the ur ps3 in other HDTV?

what other components work? the fact you can watch tv in 1080 is irrelevant to your issue. your tvs inputs could be bad, or just that particular input. however if you have indeed tested that input thoroughly then i have nothing else to suggest.
