Here is the deal.

I have a 42 inch LCD TV with 3 HDMI inputs. I have ALWAYS used HDMI with my PS3 (60 gig) and last night I even played a few rounds of MGO without a hiccup as always.

TODAY I boot the PS3 and the HDMI signal looks all screwy.. almost like a component cable with a few colors unplugged.. and the screen doesnt line up on the TV.

I tried the following:

I changed HDMI cables, and ports on the TV. NOTHING CHANGED.

I rebooted the PS3, I did a (hold the button down) reset. NOTHING CHANGED

I unplugged everything and reattached it all... NOTHING CHANGED.

I have come to conclude that the HDMI output is messed up.

Remote play still workes flawlessly... I guess for the time being I'll have to revert to the RCA cables... eew.

I'm pretty depressed if this means I no longer have a HD console that I can play in HD.

Now I would normally call Sony to have them fix it... but my issue is that I purchased this console on Ebay and I don't have a receipt from a store.

Does anyone know what I can do?

I get the same issue from time to time, well not exactly the same, My whole screen will be black.

I find if you just unplug the HDMI cable when the TV and PS3 are on it seems to solve the problem.

I suspect it's proabaly and handshake issue between the TV and the PS3.

Well.. still no issues since yesterday.

I never changed any HDMI settings.. but I do hear what you are saying as that could screw things up.

I also tried the unplug and re-plug the cable deal yesterday... but it wasn't until I used remote play that things worked again.

I am still baffled as I have never had a handshake issue with the PS3 and my Phillips TV.

Thanks for putting your 2 cents in guys.. I hope this doesn't happen again.

Your issue might also be firmware related for that tv... how old is it?

If its under 3 months then I'm dead wrong, however I don't unplug my cables, usually just killing the power to the tv, and turning it back has been enough to fix it.
