If it's the first time using your PS3, use the composite cables that came with it. Turn on the PS3 go to video settings and switch the input to HDMI. After you've switched to HDMI, turn the PS3 off and connect your HDMI cable, go back to video settings and change the resolution to 1080p. If this isn't the first time you've used HDMI for your PS3, make sure your T.V. is on the correct input. If the T.V. is on the correct input, try switching the HDMI cable to a different input. If that doesn't work try using a different HDMI cable, testing different HDMI connections if you're still getting the black screen. If none of those work then it's probably a problem with the PS3, but just to make sure try plugging something else with HDMI to see if that works. If another HDMI device works, then it's your PS3, if it doesn't then it could be a problem with your HDMI connections on the T.V.

If you are connecting with hdmi, make sure your connections are proper and you are on the right hdmi source on your TV

Be waiting for your reply

It is most likely that you are trying run a high resolution to a large 42 inch TV and the graphics card may not be able to handle that. Try reducing the resolution on that tv signal from your desktop settings.

Hey FixYa

Thank you for your answer.

It is possible for the HDMI connector to be re-soldered back on. However as the pin connections are small & delicate it is possible that some of the pads on the board may have been damaged, if this is the case then a new board would be required.

Press vol - and ch - at the same time - hold for a few seconds.

screens cost about 1000 and up - usually not worth replacing
