So you if have already read my HDMI imput fried thread,you have the background story.
Just 5 minutes ago i came to my department in a city 1hr away from home with the ps3 in the trunk of the car hoping to plug the ps3 into the 42" hdtv and play.
Now i plug the power cord and the HDMI cable,press the ON button until it beeps once and...............NO IMAGE!!!!! THE FREAKING THING SHOWS NO IMAGE!!
Is it possible that the bad cable fried BOTH the imput of the tv and the output of the ps3?
Now please tell me that this is a bad cable and not a fried output,i don't mind the fried tv imput since i have other tv and i ordered a 24" hdmi monitor.
btw right now i don't have another device to test the cable,maybe in one hour i will.

Do you get any sound? If so you need to reset the video settings. Hold the power button for a few seconds until it beeps a few times. Then it will reset to default but you will need the original cables it came with to use it again.

Try S-Video if ps3 has it,or try the usual 3 cables thing(red white and yellow) to see if its the ps3 or its the TV.

Mine worked with a cheap-o HDMI cable after I did the video settings reset.

This is what i did:
Plug power cord into wal---->plug HDMI cable on the tv and ps3---->press power button for 5 secs----->no image.
the first time i turned the ps3 on it was connected using the HDMI output only.

-----EDIT-----
after trying the HDMI and getting no image yesterday at my house i tried the standard A/V output and it worked fine.

you need to put the the ps3 in hd mode or ull get no picture i think it like tap the eject button 3 times or summet like that

there's no need to do that,should automatically work after holding the button for 5 secs.

Do you have to enable the HDMI input on the TV? I had to do that for my old Pioneer plasma. Basically, Input 1 has HDMI and Component, but doesnt auto-sense, so you have to go to the video options to enable it. Do you have any other HDMI devices to try it with?
