HDMI and DVI use the same encoding scheme for video purposes- the only difference is HDMI can carry audio signals and therefore have different connectors- so it is not like the lack of a picture signal is because you are using two different cables (HDMI and DVI). In theory the DVI to HDMI adapter should work.
Is there a possibility that the adapter is defective? Any bent or missing pins?
How long are the cables? If they are of poor quality, a digital signal can be lost at 20 feet. Again, in theory.
The only other thing I can thing of, off the top of my head is to ask, did you change the input selection on your t.v.'s display screen to go from the input source that you get your t.v stations from... to the input source of the Play Station?
You did not list a model number for your tv. My first suggestion would be to reboot the tv. Unplug the tv for several minutes then plug it in again. Try to access the internet to find if there is a firmware update for your product. If your tv has asked for you to update firmware and you've ignored these upgrades, this could be the issue.
If these do not work you will probably need to change the digital Main module assembly, the board that everything plugs into.
Most of these are fairly Generic---two pins or 3 pins---try someone like Suburban Electronics who has a online catalog and 800 number--very fast and reasonable shipper.
If you are in a hurry call the 800 number--good people there.
ouch
why not ask , HP,? the real maker,?
we are not HP , at all, not in the least... https://h30434.www3.hp.com/
most of this is legacy harware, and books are gone
and persons using it , gone or long forgotten.
what station, tell them the station service tag part number be first
Has she lost some or all the HD channels. Most HD station have not gone to full power yet so you may not get all the channels. Try a 8 bay antenna and a booster.
I had a similar problem. After a nearby lightning strike I lost video
to the TV. When the SA-HE100 source switch was set to DVD or TV I lost
the TV picture. In my system configuration I send composite video
(yellow jacks) to the SA-HE100 from the DVD player, VCR and satellite
receiver. From the "TV Monitor Out" jack (yellow jack) the video goes
to an RF modulator then is sent to the TV as RF channel 3. At first it
seemed the modulator was defective but plugging in another identical
modulator damaged the second unit also. This made me look at the amp as
the culprit. Curiously, the amp would pass through VCR video without a
problem but I didn't know it because of the damaged RF modulator.
Whenever the amp source switch was set to DVD or TV the amp would put
-4.75V DC on the "TV Monitor Out" jack thereby damaging the connected
RF modulator. The repair is relatively simple. The only special skill
required is you will need to be able to desolder a 14 pin DIP IC. The
damaged component on my amp was IC364 mounted on the board that holds
the yellow video jacks. The IC is a JRC 2279D, a 3 input/2 output video
switch available from Digikey p/n NJM2279D-ND, $1.50 each.
