Do a display reset by turning on your PS3 but also holding down the power button until it beeps.
You should be able to select your display to HDMI and resolution to your preference then.

Yes, 1TB 2.5" HDD exists, WD's Scorpio Blue or Toshiba's MKxx59GSM

but I really doubt you can't use it on the PS3. Why? Cuz if you look at the specifications, the physical dimensions of the drive is 12.5mm , where as, having gone through a lot of threads on PS3 HDD upgrading, the HDD must be a 9.5mm

Correct me if I am wrong on this though

I believe only metal gear solid takes that much space, and nowadays, most games dont need install.

lol no man.

games like tekken 6 also 4gb, bayonetta install almost 5gb, my gta4 with 2dlc also around8gb. -.-

Erh so the mystery of the 1TB HDD SATA for ps3, any confirmation on this?
I checked through garage sales under memory drives, they have like a million type off HDD for sale there. thats why im looking for some opinions here.

I'm not sure whether PS3 can support 1TB HDD/12.5mm HDD or not, but i can confirm that most of the 1TB 2.5" HDD have the height of 12.5mm which is not the standard height of 9.5mm. Toshiba recently launch their 1TB 2.5" HDD with 9.5mm height, i think soon other brand like WD will follow.

okay thanks alot storm maker.

btw brand wise, would it be much of a difference?

No problem bro ...

I'm not sure abt HDD compatibility, hope sifu2 here can enlighten me as well. But when come to choosing HDD, i'll only go for WD.

done that..but nothings changed..huhuu..

standby mode

then....

keep hold the power button until you hear 2nd beeping sound , then release it...

you should get into display screen , which detect your hdmi connection..

thanks,

maybe the hdmi cable faulty???

Brand doesn't really matter. The most important to take into consideration would be the dimensions and also the RPM spindle speed.

me either western digital or seagate...

dont think its cable problem..coz at first, it detect the cable..but when the system try to process the change of input, i turn off my ps3 coz i thought it hang/no response..

I'm using a 3.5" 1TB HDD for my PS3.
How? Similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3uCY_AZt38


Don't understand what you're trying to say... why the heck you turn off your PS3 when the display is changing?

yo mr ben. i didnt really understand what the video was showing.

1TB external is it?

at that time, the screen goes blank for a while..so i thought it was hang or got no response..until i called my fren, he says that that was normal..teh screen will go blank for a while..

Normally the drive will connect to the connector straight, but since the 3.5" HDD cannot fit in the HDD bay, you need the SATA tape I was talking about to attach the connector to the HDD.

In a way, you have an external internal drive

sry about tis i duno where to post tis question,coz i have bought 1 game just cause 2 and i have install,after that i start i press the o,there is no respon just then up,down can press onli other square,triangle,o,x also no respone pls help me thanz.

^ u need to go online to d/load patch to fix the O/X buttons bug

I think you're referring to an adapter instead. S-ATA tape could mean S-ATA tape drives.

Anyway I would highly suggest DWExia just get himself a 2.5" Hard Disk instead. It's much more practical IMO since he's already having a headache trying to find out which brand of HDD to get already.

To everyone else, if you're interested in making a 3.5" adapter for yourself, here's a method.
