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?

Need help.. Anyone??

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?
