Hey guys, I have an original launch PS3 and i kinda rarely use it, turned it on today and there is no video, worked fine when i hooked everything up when i had my av receiver a few months ago and i have used it a few times since. if i have ps3 -> av receiver -> tv i get sound via optical and no video. i have done the reset trick involving the power button. i have even connected ps3 -> tv directly via hdmi and no signal again.

Time to phone sony and beg?

Thanks

If you hold the power/reset button there is 3 things mine does.

1st beep = power on

~5seconds later = 2nd beep = reset video settings

~another 5 seconds = 3rd beep = power off

Any video when the PS3 is hooked up DIRECT to your TV?

No i dont, if i just have ps3 -> tv i still get sound and no video

Have you tried hooking it up with just the standard video cable that it comes with?

I threw away my standard video cables ages ago "Oh, I don't need these". I will contact some mates and see if they have any lying around.

I beleive if you reset your video its default output is not HDMI it's composite? ... I think........

Nope will still output to HDMI.

As AB said try booting without the hard drive in or get hold of the old leads :)

do the reseting trick twice once with the HDMI and once with the AV and i know it might not work but try buying or borrowing a component cable from a friend if your tv has HDMI it must have component for sure

Nothing seems to be working, I have tried hdmi and composite cables directly to TV with no luck. Both cables with and without the HDD to no luck again.

ekk?

Its time for you to call sony and beg. 2 Of my friends had the same issue. One was no video, other one was no HDD at all. Weird but happened just recently, said "Could not detect drive".

I poped in a another 2.5". I formatted it before I poped it in the ps3, same thing. It was the system. Ironically it was a 60gig. Idk what happened yet because he called them today but ill let you know what the results end up being
