playstation 3 // HDMI problem please help

Have you ever tried to shut down your PS3 and then started your PS3 with the power button on the system itself but this while holding the button down for about 5 seconds. This opens the menu for the display option.

Yeah, listen to this guy!

I had a similar problem on my Wii when I tried to play Super Mario Bros. Just mess with the configuration of the wirless untill you get something

As everyone said before, you need to do a hard rest. Thats holding the power button down until it does a double beep. When that is done cut off the system from the back. Make sure in the options mode for HDMI you only pick the resolutions your television supports, otherwise it will kick it back to AV.

I hope that helps some.

is the reset button on the controller ?

No, the actual power button on the console itself. Hold that one down for 5+ seconds after the first beep.

one of the hdmi plugs is a DVI or something so i plug my three coloured cables (white,red,yellow) from the ps3 to the tv ..so i plug it in and plug in my hdmi cable in hdmi 1 and i go to AV1 and there it is my game but without sound and then i go to HDMI 1 channel and there it is my game with sound but no picture its just black blank ?redrum2142

Do you have the HDMI and composite cables (the red, white and yellow cables) plugged in at the same time? If so, unplug the composite cables. You only need the HDMI cable plugged in. When you turn on the system, it should automatically detect the HDMI cable.

Coincidentally, my 22" LG monitor came today.

All I did was turn my PS3 completely off, so off at the back as well. Then I hooked up the HDMI, turned it on. And the Ps3 asked me if I wanted to use HDMI, I siad yes..then it asked if I wanted 1080p, I said yes, and that was it for me.

Anyways, turn your ps3 off at the back.

Put your finger on the stand-by button (on the console)

While your finger is still on it, flick the back switch and keep the reset button held down. That's what I do before i had HD when I had to switch back to my SD tv after being at a friend's house or w/e.
