I was also thinking that i dont no how to turn it on correctly, can some tell me detailed steps to that.

I am thinking of taking it back and getting a new one if it is like broken or sumtin

To turn it off, keep ur finger on the on/off button for about 3 secs! Also check to see if ur AV cables are connected well. Another thing is, if everything is connected, keep ur hand on the on/off button for about 6-10 secs. Ive got a feeling that ur video resolution has changed or something.

What did you use to hook it up to your TV?

You can reset your TV display by holding down the on/off button and wait till you hear 2 beeps.

I use the PS button on the controller to turn it on/off. Works like a charm!

yeah...probably just have the ps3 set to a different connection then you are using...no big deal.  Listen to the guys awnswer above and you can reset the display.
