Sony Playstation 3 + HDMI + Samsung Series 5 47"LCD Problems (tried all solutions i found) OK at my wits end now. Heres the testing I have done. Have the ps3 connected to the set using the av cable works fine. Have it connected with the hdmi cable nothing Connect both cables and view through the a/v cable and it detects a HDMI device and asks should i use it. When I select yes, nothing, although the tv detects and changes mode I get a black screen (no sound either as far as I can tell) To test the lead I have plugged it into my laptop and the laptop displays just fine on my tv at full1080p with sound. The tv is 1 year old, samsung 5 series 47" This morning i tried a firmware update on the tv, which is now fully up to date - made no difference. Using teh service menu on the tv i can see that the tv is HDCP compliant, I thought this might have been an issue but I guess not. I have also tried turning everything off, unplugging it all for at least 5 minutes, and bringing it all back on in just about every sequence i can think of. I have tried the hold for 5 seconds reset trick on the ps3 which does always reset it and re-detects a hdmi cable, but alas, no dice if i try and use it. any suggestions guys?

i am aware that the ps3 video going out. here is something you can try
to restore the ps3 it fixes many of software side of things for the ps3.


someone posted this......
I almost went crazy with this! I tried everything everyone was saying
and nothing worked. Finally I came across a posting that said as
follows: 1. Turn off ps3 at back. 2. Turn off tv, and unplug it,
wait several seconds to reset. 3. turn on tv first, make sure your input
setting is set for the ps3 (you may have to quickly switch after
turning on the ps3 at front) 4. turn on ps3 at back, then turn ps3 on at
front, wait about 2 seconds, then press and hold ps3 button and the
screen should pop up asking you about the video settings


this is another method i found on this site
i got this from getupart from this site and he/she said....

1.
Turn Off in back (wait few seconds for it to re-set)
2. Turn on in
back
3. Turn on in front and hold your finger on it 'till it turns
off again -
(you get the beep on then the three beeps for reset
and it will eventually beep again and turn off)
4. Turn off in back
(wait few seconds for it to re-set)
5. Turn on in back
6. Turn on
in front hold finger for three beeps and damn it works!
