Hey Guys
I just bought a new Sony Playstation 3 40gb. Connected the console up with the supplied AV cables. I then went and purchased a non-official HDMI cable from Blockbusters. I believe it was the Venom HDMI cable. Anyways I had the AV cable and the HDMI cable both plugged into the PS3 and the TV. I began the initial setup and after I chose the language it detected the HDMI and said if it should change the source. I pressed accept but then it went black so I continued the setup with the AV cable.
Once the setup was complete I went and changed the display settings to HDMI. This failed to work and whenever I chose HDMI I received a black screen on my TV with a no signal message popping up. This applied to the second HDMI port as well. I then decided to update the firmware to the latest 2.10, hoping it would rectify the situation.....which it didnt. Same message and now its really annoying me.
I had a problem with my past HDTV which was a Technosonic 32 inch. With that the HDMI would flicker and die due to handshake issues with the PS3 and other things. I then changed the TV for a LG 37 inch. Now im not getting a flicking screen. All I get is a black screen with no signal. So do you guys have any idea what may be the problem. I have tried holding the power button for 5 seconds on boot-up to restore the display settings but it dosent solve the problem. Could it be the cable, or is it the TV?
Thanks.
