If I select not to use the HDMI, I still do not get any display but I can hear the startup sound and if I use my controller, I could also hear the menu sounds. I have tried both the options quite a few number of times with the same result. Sometimes when the screen asking if I want to use the HDMI output shows up, it is very spotty and there is tearing.

I have tried using a different HDMI cable. I even tried it on a different TV with a different HDMI cable but got the same result. I also unplugged all the wires and then put them back in.

Are there any other troubleshooting tips before I take my PS3 to a hardware guy?

My PS3 is n CFW 3.55

Even I booted my PS3 after about three months.. and facing the exact same problem.. I know that HDMI port issues are very common in PS3 but the thing is it detects the HDMI port and running perfectly on 480p.. Though the screen gets blank if I choose to switch to 720p.. So is my HDMI port busted?

Hey guys, hopefully this is the right place to post this.

I was playing on my playstaion 4. And it suddenly stopped working. It's blue light went off randomly.

Whenever I press the power button. It switches on and a second and half later it shuts off itself .

Any idea what the problem is?

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
