PS3 won't do HD. Help Please!!!

So here is my problem guys. I have had my HDMI cable for well over2 year with no problems at all. I never usually unplug the HDMI cable for no reason and when I do it is usually to clean the ps3 or I'm going on a trip and when I plug it in no problems, but yesterday I rented Transformers 2 on Blu-ray and I decided to watch it in my living room because I heard Blu-Ray is best on bigger hdtv's. So I hooked it up downstairs and I wasn't able to get a picture. I tried everything. I held the button until that second "beep". Nothing worked so I just used my composite cables. THe next day I brought my ps3 back up to the tv I usually use to play and it still wouldn't get picture in HD.

Now my question to you guys is it the HDMI cord or the HDMI input in the ps3 itself? Oh! also the HDMI cord was about $50 bucks and was great quality. I never mishandle my ps3 so I doubt it is the HDMI input. My ps3 also recognizes the HDMi cord because it has said it does and it gives me the option to change. When I click it the screen just goes blank. So please help me. This will be great help for me and others with the same problem.

I asked my friends on the ps3 and they say I probably bent the hdmi cord inside.

Are you sure the PS3 is set to recognize an HDMI cable?

I'm pretty sure the PS3 recognizes HDMI automatically. It does for mine...

You should try hold the soft reset button down again until it does a triple beep. It resets the system. You need to plug in your AV cables into the TV as well as your HDMI cables and set your HD settings again. Hopefully that helps.
