Has any1 else had HDMI port problems with their PS3?

my ps3 jsut suddenly wetn blank one day and i thought it broke, but then i realized its prolly my TV cuz my friend has the same thing and he said his port was broken, now the guy has replaced one part already and it didnt work so now he is goin to replace the motherboard of the port in the TV

so now im just wondering if any1 else's PS3's port has broken b/c then i would be wasting time on my TV when i should call Sony up and ask for a fixer...

I have a problem with my TV and I'm waiting for the technician. It's pretty similar to yours, the screen turns black. At first, I thought the PS3 could have been the problem since I was only having problems with the PS3, but that's because I spent most of my time on the TV playing the PS3, since later, it happened 3 times with cable and 3 times with a DVD player..

The only way to bring back the screen was to shut down the TV and reopen it.

A good way to test if your TV or the PS3 is the problem, once the screen goes black, try raising the volume. On every TVs, a bar or number will show up. If you don't see it, it's the TV that stopped showing the image, not the PS3 that stopped sending it.

I had this issue as well, but only when I played PSone games. I was told in another thread that it's my TV but my TV still displays "no signal" when this happens. My TV is a 40" 1080p Samsung LNT 4061FX. I have still been unable to find any known issues with my HDMI port while doing a search.

I can use component cables and I never get any issues. And to be honest, I don't see much of a difference between the two.

If you see No Signal, the problem is either the PS3 or the cable, not the TV.

And PS1 games would look better with components or composites. They weren't made to be played in HD. But you can simply go in your PS3 settings and change it to 480i, that's how PS1 games were made to be played, so they'll look as bad as they should. Seeing low res textures in hi-res makes it look bad.

With the smoothing feature, I actually find the PS3 improves the old PSone games quite a bit over the old composite connections.

huh?!?!

ok heres what you do, if you have the sony bravia television its an easy fix, all you do is unplugg your tv from the wall, wait about 20 mins then plug it back in and volia!!! ps3 in hdmi! i had the same problem thought it was my ps3 port then i found out it was the tvardrummer13

I have an HDMI problem as well, but it's the TV. Sometimes I get the black screen "unsupported signal" message when I get into a game or quit a game, but what I do is just change the TV input with a remote control and go back to the right input, bam, I get the picture again.

yea this happened to me with my old 40 gig, honestly phats are just unreliable for the most part. one day my port just stopped working, and it was worth it to pay to fix it and cant have a ps3 with no hd. so i just got a slim

i did had a problem where at some point when turning on and chaning the channel the screen came up black but rechanging the channel solved.. which is not that much of a bother....
