You have bumped your own thread 4 times. Bumping is against the forum rules. As for your question try to hold down the power button for 5 seconds during power up. Your system should beep and let you know that it has detected the HDMI cable.
Try Turning your PS3 on, without the HDMI plugged in, let it sit for about 30 seconds, then plug it in, make sure your TV is set to the HDMI settings. See what happens, if nothing, try connecting it through the regular audio/video cables (the red white yellow ones) and see if you see an image, if not, hold down your power button while its turned on until you hear it beep twice, this will reset it to the cables. Then make sure your HDMI cable is plugged in and go into the display options and set it up for HDMI, but dont do 1080p or 1080i, try a lower setting first like 480i or something and see if you can get the image on your TV with the HDMI cables, then adjust from there. let me know what happens.
If all else fails, reset your PS3 to factory default setting and it should allow you to do regular connection and then jump to the hdmi.
