This is like the black screen problem others are having, except I'm not even getting any sound.
I'll try to give you a little recap of what happened here, but first my setup: Launch 60GB PS3 connected to 32" Vizio 720p/1080i HDTV via HDMI (everything has been working like this perfectly fine since I bought my PS3 last year).
Now the recap: I just bought the expansion for warhawk, downloaded it (which took a few hours for some reason), installed it, then started the process of updating Warhawk to 1.20. It was taking a long time to download that too, so I changed the channel and watched some TV for a while. I came back to my HDMI channel only to find a black screen (contrary to the solid blue one for when it is recieving no input). I switched the console off and then back on, and the screen turned black again, no picture, no sound, nothing.
I've been trying things for the past hour or two to no avail. However I have figured out (I think) that the PS3 is having trouble running the audio/video through the HDMI cable. I tried a different HDMI cable, but it didn't work. I held the power button for 5 seconds to switch the video back to SD (which it did) but I still didn't get picture or sound. I switched the cord back to a composite AV cord and got picture and sound, but of course, in SD. I tried telling the PS3 to output through HDMI, them switched my cables, still didn't work. I hooked both the cables up and got a message saying that an HDMI device was found and asking if I wanted to output video through it, still didn't work.
So I know its not the TV (my 360 still works fine with HDMI), I know its not the cable (tried a different cable), and I know the PS3 isn't broken (entirely, at least) since it can output fine through AV. That's where I'm at right now. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I reeeeealy want to try out the new Warhawk expansion. Thanks so much :(
