Silly Nub Cake has PS3 problem - Jun 19, 2008 08:19
Ok, at my house my PS3 is connected to my TV via HDMI. I brought my PS3 to my moms house for a 5 day visit to let my little sister play MGS4(she loves the series), but Im getting no signal via the A/V cables.

My theory is that because it is set to HDMI in the settings it is refusing to play through A/V. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this without hooking it up with a HDMI cable and setting it to a non-HD signal then hooking it back up? There is no HDTV available here, so any help would be much appreciated.

BTW, anyone know when the SOCOM: Confrontation Beta will be available?

when turning on the ps3 hold down the power button for 5 or so secs and it should reset the settings.
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Yeah, moving the PS3 to different TVs is a pain. You have to turn the HDMI off first. It demands that you have analog cables hooked up just so you can do that. It really should have an auto-detect... use the HDMI if it is there, use component cables f they are there, use s-video or composite if they are there. That' s not hard to do.

Silentbomber, I didn' t know of that method. Does that reset everything in the PS3?

Cut the ps3 off and hold the power on button until you here the second set of beeps. Then your good to go. I thinks its 5 secounds like silent bomber said.

Thanks Silent and Mikayd, that did it.

No, it apparently only resets the system settings.

***, I would have liked to have known this when I first got my PS3. I tested my PS3 with AV because as I forgot to pick up a HDMI cable. Imagine my surprise when plugging HDMI for the first time. I ended up using a Youtube video showing the exact button presses to change the settings in the blind. lol
