Sometimes its a pain to re hook up the cords if you are stuck in HD mode and tryin to go back to Regular or Vise Versa, power off the ps3 press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. that will switch the video card back to default settings.
I ran into this problem myself. When switching from HDMI to RCA, before disconnecting the HDMI cable, go into your settings under "video" and change the connection output from HDMI to RCA.
Now, note that once you do that you cant see anything using your HDMI, but....you will now be able to plug in your RCA cables and use it that way.
And will now be able to use RCA,
Took me a bit to figure that out, but once someone pointed it out I was like...oh yea.
Hope this helps.

when you use the HDMI cable the system becomes automated, it detects that the HDMI cable is in use and with your help it sets up your audio and video.
RCA or Composite cables (same thing) are basic and dont communicate, so you have to go to your system settings in the XMB (cross media bar) and look for video settings, change them back to composite, and do the same for your audio. If that is too much work for ya you can do a master reset of the system. Hook the system up using your RCA cables while the system is powered off, then turn the system on wait 30 seconds and then hold your finger on the power button until it beeps twice, this will reset the system to its original settings

Hi PlasmaMan,
You did the right thing in turning off your PS3 and then holding the power 1/0 button for more than 5 seconds. Since you having true heat problems and your Console is freezing, you have no choice other than to Call SONY at 1-800-345-7669 for support. You may have trouble getting though so email your problem to Sony Support at the following URL http://www.us.playstation.com/corporate/ConsumerServices
I run a Playstation Repair business, and I am unable to get Parts for the PS3. They are very scarce, as Christmas is coming, and my source for parts is getting sucked up at high prices.
SOURCE: my ps3 will work on the rca hookups but not on the hdmi hookups
When you hooked up the HDMI did you go into display settings and change all the PS3 settings to HDMI instead of AVI? I thought my HDMI wasnt working, just a blank screen but I could hear the sound, then it hit me..... change the video and display settings to HDMI and poof, there was the pic. lol
SOURCE: no signal from ps3 to TV
There is a hard reset in your manual...do what that says with the HDMI plugged in and it will automatically find that signal.
