HDMI Cable Problems

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 11:22 am

Okay, so I just bought a new HDMI Cable for my PS3 and it seems like it doesn't work. I plugged it in correctly, but when I go to change the display settings to HDMI, my screen goes black for 30 seconds and turns back to my previous resolution. Is the one I just bought broken?

Did you change the video input to HDMI on the TV?

Yeah, and it just stays as a black screen.

It is possible the HDMI cable is bad, it can happen. What usually happens is the connectors on the devices go bad, but since you have not used this yet, let's rule that out for now.

So, do you have another cable to test? Is there another TV to try this on? Do you have another console? Or, neighbors you could impose upon for a few minutes?

Yeah, I just tested it on another TV. It works perfectly. I can't figure out whats wrong with my TV...
