Put your PS3 in standby mode (hold the power button until the light turns red) then release, and hold the power button again for about 10 seconds, or until the light beeps a second time. When the PS3 restarts, it should display on whatever it finds plugged in first.

If your PS3 powers up but you arent getting picture or sound there are a few things you can try to fix this:

  1. Check that the HDMI cable is plugged in properly. Borrow another HDMI cable if possible to see if this fixes the problem.
  2. Check if your TV is on the right setting or whether it is actually on in the first place.
  3. Perform a console settings reset (this will not delete your save games or user data) At the following link I have a free guide to resetting your PS3 safely and correctly to fix your PS3 powering up with no picture or sound.

50' philips plasma tv has sound but picture is distorted

I sugest you to change the video resolution settings on the PS-3 to see if TV sets to any one resolution...if you have any other video out (analog from PS3)...connect the out to TV and check video at different resolutions. If PS3 has Deep Color settings turn it OFF.

Sound but no picture on PS3 using AV3/4

if it's happening with your ps2 and your ps3 on teh same tv, try it on a different tv. if you're getting sound but no picture, tehn it's something with your cables or your tv. restting the display setting should get your picture back up. make sure the system is in standby and then hold down teh power button. it will turn green and beep, then flash green and beep again. it should brng up a picture. if not, check your component cables, especailly if it works with the original cables.

No picture or sound

You may have incorrect video setting. Try going back to default settings by holding the power button down for about 10 sec.

Sound but no picture

Okay, turn your PS3 off.

Now turn it on with the power button (NOT the sixaxis)

And hold the power button down until it beeps twice.

That should reset your video settings
