FFS, PS3 has no picture.

[toythatkills]

What is this I don't even? I've turned it on about five times in two months, and now it appears to be broken. It's sending a signal to the TV (HDMI) but it's not actually displaying anything. I've got a blank screen.

Googling suggests that literally every PlayStation owner in the world has had this issue, so what can I do to fix it? Everyone is suggesting pressing the power button down until I hear some magical sequence of beeps but that's not having any effect.

Useless POS. It's a 250gb Slim machine, if it makes a difference.

Recently upgraded the firmware?
Is the HDMI cable a cheap one?
This combo can cause problems.

Have you tried using the Composite cable that came with it? Or have you got a PS2 component lead lying around you could try?

You've made a typo in the thread title - shouldn't it should read:

"PS3 has no games"

rofl lolzors etc

*ahem*

As FSW said, try the HDMI. John Par... sorry, JP posted on here a while ago that he had problems after the latest firmware update with third party HDMI cables but the official ones worked.

You spotted my inspiration

It is a cheap cable, but it's been working fine, it even worked last night. I haven't upgraded the firmware or done anything since, and now nothing.

Just plugged it in via scart and was sick in my mouth at the mere thought of what I was doing. On that input, when it's plugged in with HDMI too, I get a screen that goes "hey, yo, we all detect a HDMI input and ****? Wanna get that dude switched over?"

So I goes, "yeah, man" and then switch my TV to HDMI.

BLANK SCREEN.

So, try another HDMI cable? Well that's gonna take ages

It's working fine via scart but MY EYES. OH, MY EYES.

Squint. Job done!

A long shot, but try holding down the power button for a couple of seconds when you turn it on until you hear a beep. This will reset the video settings to factory default.

Might wanna read the whole of the first post Jake ;-)

New HDMI cable came today, and the old one's started working again. FML.
