PS3 black screen only one one tv...

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Ok so I had a original fat ps3 I got on launch and one day it only displayed black so I guessed it broke so I got a new ps3 slim what ever and I go to plug it in the same damn issue the weird thing is that my tv works with my xbox 360 and laptop with no issues and it only has one dvi port on it so why won't it work with any ps3s oh and I just pluged both ps3s into my tv down stairs and they work...

What connection did you use? RCA? HDMI? when you change between those you get a black screen

I have tired every cable on the fat and I couldn't get anything to work and I tried hdmi first on the slim and then I went to try component and it worked... so lost lol also on the slim the issue is I have one hdmi cable running into my attic that goes to my media center that has a hdmi switch with all my stuff so using component isn't really ideal if you know what I mean.

Ok so you said that in the slim ps3 it work with the component go to the settings where you can change to HDMI and component, change to hdmi and try it the screen should go dark but if that doesn't work you would need another tv to change it back to component.

That didn't work and so I did a input reset (by holding down the power button) and I got it to work but why won't it work over dvi?

Well idk what else to say it should be working fine from what I've been reading, try a different cable but i don't think is going to help since you said in works fine with the xbox and laptop

When you connect your ps3's into the other tv, do you use a regular hdmi? what i mean is hdmi to hdmi or the other tv has dvi too? hdmi to dvi connectors?
