    Help Help! My ps3 has a black screen

    My ps3 works fine on one of my TVs. On the other one it loads up a black screen. It was set to 720p, which my TV can do, then I did the display settings reset to put it down to 576 and it still didn't work. I've tried two hdmi cables on two ports on the TV. I don't get why it works with the same HDMI cable on another tv Help!

    When you turn it on hold down the power button until you get a beep then let go and wait and it resets the video setting s

    Like I said, I did the display settings reset. Unfortunately, that doesn't work. My tv shows the resolution that is connected (which it's capable of displaying) but just doesn't display anything.

    Just replied to your PM before I read this, so ignore that haha.

    Have you tried connecting it via Composite and resetting the video settings?

    I've bought a cable and will try that. It doesn't need a reset though. It's something to do with my TV. I've got two ps3s both set to 720p, which my tv is compatible with and they work on a mate's tv. They just don't work on mine

    Ah so its the TV that is the problem?
    Does this same PS3 work on your mates TV?

    Have you tried the normal SD (red/white/yellow) cables and done a reset, or is that what you have ordered?
