Maybe 2 months ago my PS3 stopped working with the HDMI, here's the story:
I took my PS3 downstairs to watch a movie and hooked it up with the HDMI cable, all was fine. Next day I realise that it has gone back to normal settings so I try to change it back to HDMI but it just stays on a black screen. I took it back upstairs and the same thing happened with my TV. I bought a new HDMI cable but that didn't fix it and it can't be the cable because it works with my laptop. I tried the holding down the button for 2 beeps method which never worked, I've also reset the PS3 and still no success, it just gives me a black screen with a 'no signal' sign on it. Now I don't think its the TV since it doesn't work on 2 TVs and it's for sure not the cable which leads me to think it's the actual port. I was just wondering if there is a way I can fix this myself, if not I'll have to get it repaired, I called Sony and they said it would cost £110 or something crazy which is a **** take since I forked out £400 for my first one which got the yellow light and £230 or so on my new slim one which is the one I'm having problems with. I went to a game shop and they said try totalconsolerepairs.co.u or somethign along those lines, my exams are finishing this week and I really wanna get this fixed. Has anyone tried that site?? Is it reliable? Or should I just get it fixed with Sony if I can't fix it myself?
EDIT: The PS3 still works with the AV cables but that sucks.
Any help would be appreciated.
