Hi Gamers!
Yesterday my son's PS3 lost it's HDMI connection. Was working fine then the next time he went to use it "no HDMI signal".
We've tried a different HDMI cable with the same results.
We've also tried using a different TV - on this one the HDMI connection showed a lot of green static/artefacts but still didn't work.
Re-cabling using the composite cable worked so the PS3 isn't totally fried!
Google shows lots of people have seen similar issues.
Some suggest holding down the power button for 5 seconds or so until a bleep is heard to reset the video - no change for us.
Others report performing formats/factory resets etc. have worked.
Before investigating anymore I thought I would ask Freeola's PS3 experts for their advice :¬)
Thanks in advance

Didn't mean anything like that! Just an interesting question :¬)
Besides, I supported Special Reserve from the start - mail order and the local store, only at SR's conception I was a young 'father' who couldn't afford to even consider 'internet access'. Obviously your parents could and you have continued the family tradition :¬)[/i]
I'm not that young! ;)
Pre-Internet days I used Special Reserve from the ads in the back of the paper. The Internet only turned up many years later. Ah, those dial up days.
