TV is on but says it is still powering on. The black bar at the top showing input (Video 1, HDMI 2, etc) stays on the screen and when I push any buttons the the remote, tv displays Powering on, Please wait. . .

Hi,

Please unplug your tv for 20 second and plug back in before checking your screen. If the problem still exists, please use your remote to check that you're displaying the correct hdmi input that you've plugged into the back of your tv (ie hdmi 1, 2, 3 etc). If you're not displaying the correct input, then your tv won't show what you want to watch.

Thank you.

Sometimes on Samsung tv remotes there are input buttons up the top (tv, video, etc. These allow you to control other devices they ARE NOT hdmi inputs like AV1 AV2 etc) ensure that TV Button is pressed immediately before power. It is easy to knock the buttons and choose an incorrect input. Failing this pull out and reinsert HDMI/rca. failing this 1. power cycle the device. If this doesn't work contact retailer/Samsung.

Note: How to reset video output settings
If you are attempting to change to an HDMI cable from a different video cable or if the video output settings do not match those required for the display in use, the screen may stay black. If the screen stays black for more than 30 seconds, you may need to reset the video output settings of the PS3.

To reset video output settings:

1. Turn the PS3 system off by holding the Power button on the front of the console till you see the power light turn red.
2. Then hold the power button on the front of the console for at least five seconds until you hear a second beep to turn the system on again. The video output settings will automatically be reset to the standard resolution.

Minimum Requirements

• PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system
• SIXAXISTM wireless controller (and USB cable)
• AC power cord
• HDMI cable1 (sold separately)
• TV or display monitor with HDMI port and capable of displaying picture in HD resolution
• Updated system software installed on your PS3
  Visit PS3 System Software Update to download and install the most recent version.
• TV "Input" or "Video" channel for the HDMI port
  You need to know the TV "Input" or "Video" channel for the HDMI port on your TV. For instance, if your TV has multiple "Input" or "Video" channels, (i.e., "Input 1", "Input 2", "Input 3", etc.), you will need to toggle through each "Input" channel on your TV until you find the correct channel that displays the HDMI picture. This is important to remember, especially if you do not see the HDMI picture after you connect the cable and configure the PS3 settings. Please refer to the TV instruction manual for more information.

I'm not too familiar with the LG brand, but if the onscreen stuff looks fine (Volume, menus, etc.) then the panel is OK. Try a picture source other than the one you are using now (Tuner, HDMI, VGA, etc.)

1) If it's the same across all of them, then you will need to replace the main board in the TV.

2a) If it only affects one input, it could either be your video source that is bad (which means TV is OK), or
2b) that certain input port on TV is bad, which would mean you either don't use that input any more, or you replace the main board in the TV.

If you see a no signal message, then it means that the signal output format of the PS3 does not match . It happens if you have previous used it on another tv and now connected it to a different tv. To resolve this, turn off the PS3 . Press and hold the power button on the PS3 till you hear three BEEPS. The PS3 should automatically detect the tv's resolution and the initial setup screen should appear. After that you should just follow on-screen instructions to set it up.

Do you mean the power switch does not shut it off, or do you mean it does not show the signal you want it to show?

I can't help you over it not turning off, but if you are not seeing the signal, it may be because the TV has various alternate inputs, and has to be switched between which one you want to show, such as:

2 x HDMI input ( 19 pin HDMI Type A ) - rear
1 x VGA input ( 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15) ) - rear
2 x S-Video input ( 4 pin mini-DIN ) - rear
1 x audio line-in ( mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm ) - rear
5 x audio line-in ( RCA phono x 2 ) - rear
2 x component video input ( RCA phono x 3 ) - rear
2 x composite video input ( RCA phono ) - rear

Try using the on screen menu to bring up a choice over which input to show.
Switch it to the one you have connected to it.

why hdmi input wont show up

1. check the input that the PS3 is connected to
2. select that input on the TV
3. Press and hold the [power] button on the PS3
4. perform the video setup for the PS3

My guess is that you don't have the HDMI setting correct on the PS3.

connect back to your old tv and reset the ps3 to default settings then connect to your new tv.

My screen is black, why do I not have a picture?
Answer Antenna is not hooked up to television.

• Make sure that the antenna cable is correctly connected to the television. If it doesn't work there appears to be no signal.

Problem is caused by television broadcast

1. Push 'INFO' button.
2. If the screen shows channel number (1, 2, 3, etc) try another channel. Not all channels broadcast at all times.
3. You may have a signal problem. Contact cable provider or local broadcaster regarding the specific channel.

Television is in EXT or SIDE mode, and there is no external source provided, so screen mute (black screen) is activated.

1. Push NEXT SOURCE button on the remote.
2. On the screen appears all sorces.
3. Press the UP button to switch to the TV mode.

If you are using an accessory device (DVD, DVR, or VCR), be sure the device is on and running.
Blank screen when connecting to the accessory (DVD, STB, PC) device via HDMI to HDMI.

Answer

• Make sure the cable is well connected .
• To check which connection is selected, Press the i+ button on the remote control.

1. When you see Blue mute / blank screen and the i+ display does not indicate any video resolution indication then there is no valid signal detected.
   • Make sure the HDMI output of the accessory is valid by changing the video output resolution to a resolution which the TV can handle.
2. When you see a blank screen and the i+ display shows a video resolution indication then the connection is correct.
   • The blank screen is caused by the accessory device and not by the TV.
   • To detect and remedy the problem caused by the accessory device, check the instruction manual of this device.
3. If the problem remains : reselect the HDMI external source input by changing to the other HDMI input and back to the connected HDMI :
   1. Press AV on the remote
   2. Press up and then ok
   3. Press AV again
   4. Press down and ok
   5. The compatibility check process between TV and accessory device will start over again.
4. Reset (switch off and back on) the TV and also reset the accessory device.
