The Strangest HDMI issue ever... Help Needed.

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?

 

***UPDATE***

After using remote play, and pluging in the RCA (oldschool) adapters while leaving my HDMI cable in.. the system now works again on HDMI without any issues.... Not sure what happend. Any ideas?

 

could u have somehow change the settings from 60 Hz to 50 Hz? just s guess, i really dont know.

 

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.
