anyone experience no pic on the lcd tv but sound is there when ps3 is connected via HDMI?

maybe the video settings not compatible with your tv. In that case, hold on the power button when u start ur ps3 until it turns off again, and then turn it on again, tat will reset the video settings and u will be able to see pic again.

If you experienced blinking red light very frequently it may result in YLOD, so better not play your PS3 for long hours continuously.

recently downloaded some TS/TP files (approximate 120M/min size) and according to this link:

http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en.../filetypes.html
seems ps3 firmware 3.10 play most TS files?

i would like to ask will PS3 plays both video and sound if i connect PS3 direct to TV via HDMI (without any decorder)?
*
yup, HDMI transmits both audio and video...

try holding on ur power button when u turn on ur ps3, hold on it until it turns back off. And then turn it on again, tat will reset the video settings for the ps3. Try and see whether that will solve ur problem.

sony MY will not fix your set under warranty... but i think they will fix it for a fee.
best to find a friend to HK send the set to him and get him to take it to the service shop.

I dun think SONY MY will fix ur set even if u pay them....

alrite i did a search in this topic but i dont think this problem has arised b4

i connect my ps3 using hdmi to hdmi computer lcd (hp w2207h) ... at first can work... then i THINK after i created a 2nd PSN account ... i turned it off and took out the hdmi cable from ps3 and hook up to my pc ...

note: i only have 1 hdmi cable ... so im jsut swapping with each other when i wanna use ps3 and pc

after finish using my pc... i swap back to the ps3 .... now my monitor has no display.....

panic

brought my ps3 to living room lcd tv .... hooked it up to hdmi .... and it still works ... theres display...

relieved .....

go back room and hook up to computer lcd ... still no display....

anyone with any ideas here?
*
ur computer lcd cannot support the video settings that you set from your tv, when hook up to lcd monitor. hold on the power button when turn on for three beeps till it turns off, then on again, that resets the video settings.
