My ps3 has a clear line across tha screen!!!??????????is it messed up??

ok well i bought the game oblivian and i saw faint clear lines across the screen and it is realy bothering me.

then i was playing guitar h 3 and i saw it in the middle

is it screwed up, i hav an hd tv 1080p sony brand and it is a brovia, and the tv is brand new

i hav not seen the lines on any other of my games...but is it just a quoencedence that it is on guitar h and oblivian???

i realy dont care if it is one just those two but i dont want it to be srcewed up and i do not hav a warrenty and i am useing hdmi wihich i hav un pluged and blew on it and put it in again and nothing seems to happen

When the PS3 first came out a lot of people had this problem (if it's the same problem I am thinking of). It had to do with double grounding and interference.The way to get rid of it is to take the ground on the PS3 plug out of the equation. You can use a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter.d14m23

I dont recall hearing anything about these problems, I wouldnt mind seeing a picture of the issue, but, I think your safest bet would be to call Sony.

It's not a problem with the PS3. Interference happens to all electronic equipment when there is a ground loop. I am not saying to modify the PS3 just use an adapter on the PS3's electrical plug. That's what I did to get rid of the lines going through the screen.

Conceptually I understand the issue your talking about. What I said was I dont recall hearing about this during the launch of the console.

You stated that this was common problem when the PS3 launched. I dont recall that being an issue.

Maybe it just seemed like a lot to me since I had the problem myself. But it was on this forum and the forum on the playstation site.
