So here's my predicament. My PS3 has been working flawlessly since I got it when it launched years ago. The other day I watched a movie on it and turned it off. Later when I went back to turn it on I got no audio/video. NOTE: I have my PS3 hooked up to a Dell flatscreen monitor via HDMI. When my PS3 is turned off, the monitor goes into power screen mode, but when I turn it on it will go out of power save mode-- THIS STILL HAPPENS even though I no longer get any picture or sound. So obviously somehow it is sensing the PS3 is turning on, but without giving me any picture/sound. My first thought is that the settings on my PS3 had changed...
Things I've tried:
1. Holding the ON button on the PS3 to have it detect my HDMI settings-- still no picture or sound
2. I hooked it up to a friends television via the red/yellow/white aux cables, which worked perfectly fine (tv didn't have HDMI). I reset the settigns
3. I also tried hooking my laptop up to the monitor I use my PS3 on (Laptop-DVI to PS3-HDMI) and the picture showed up on the monitor, meaning the HDMI port on the monitor is just fine
This leaves me thinking that somehow the HDMI port on my PS3 isn't working? I'm not sure, this whole thing baffles me 1)because it worked just fine earlier that day but hasn't since and 2) my monitor still goes out of power save mode when I turn on the PS3 and back into powersave mode when I turn off the PS3. I'm going to try hooking it up to another friends TV with HDMI to see if that works but who knows...
Any suggestions???
ALL help is appreciated, thanks in advance
Trouble getting picture/sound through HDMI cable--possibly bad HDMI port on PS3?
