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
