dear sifus,

after 3 days of trying, i would to ask your opinion on my hdmi connectivity issue. hdtv is pioneer 428xg directly to a fat ps3.

1. connect using composite and change to hdmi in xmb - blank screen.
2. unplugging everything, wait 5 minute, plug composite and hdmi, press i/o button until second beep, change to hdmi channel - blank screen
3. same as 2 but press i/o button from red to green to red (reset ps3 to lowest resolution - correct if my method is wrong) - blank screen.
4. the message hdmi device detected, do you want to output video and audio pop up, but when i press yes blank screen on both composite and hdmi channel.
5. sometimes on the hdmi channel, tv info will show hdmi, 576p,36bit but theres blank screen and flashes of green, grey half screen..
6. change to another hdmi cable, port etc still same result.
7. test cable and port to astro byond. no problem at all...

i ve yet to test the ps3 to another hdtv, the nagging question is this a handshake issue or the hdmi port on ps3 is faulty..

if its a handshake issue, ive googled and didnt found any 428xg user complaining, in fact one or two forummers with the same chain as i is having no problem...is this hshake issue can be unique to specific hardware sets?

thanks in advance..

will do. but if i am not mistaken its only one firmware and theres no update or announcement ever since.

read that after the ps3 is reset with the lowest resolution, it should work with any pc or monitor right ?

have tried all three...same result.

sorry,

been quite busy lately.

1. already done the reset couple of time, still cannot be resolved.
2. on the hdmi enable, its enabled. still blank screen.

havent tried my ps3 on another lcd so i still cannot say whether its a hdmi fault. also waiting for a friend to come and test his ps3 slim on tv.

but from the looks of it, its more likely a faulty hardware or hdmi port either tv or ps3 or both..lol

im on component now, but if not from hdmi, i am missing a lot.
