Alright guys,
This is an odd one. I turned on my PS3 a while ago to download the PES 2009 demo and then installed it. When I tried to start the demo the screen just went blank, I left it there for a few minutes with no change. I then restarted the PS3 and it came on for a couple seconds then the screen went blank.
THe machine appears to be running and doing it's regular thing in the background as it intermittently flashed on for a second before then going blank again, showing being in FIFA 08 (the disc in the machine). It apears to flash on when I do somthing if I leave it for a little while, like press the control pad or unplug and reconnect the HDMI.
It really doesn't seem like physical problem with the HDMI cable or connections. I've never had any problem before with the ouput on the PS3. I've only had it on for about an hour and doesn't seem too warm. I have two HDMI pots on my TV, the other with the input from my PC's DVI, I tried switcing around but had the same outcome, PC worked fine, PS3 didn't.
I've been waiting ages to pick up FIFA 09 and with it due out tomrrow my PS3 has packed up, any ideas?
Cheers
