I am using the three prong adapter that came with my ps3 but it isn't working on the tv I'm currently using. Does this have something to do with the tv or with the cable?

Hello

Plug the microwave into the outlet if the microwave won't power up. Make sure the plugs on the microwave match the type of outlet. A four-pronged outlet can only be used with a four-pronged plug. Same with three-pronged outlets---they only work with three-pronged plugs.


Inspect the plug. Make sure it hasn't been cut or tampered with. Four-pronged plugs can't be cut down to fit a three-pronged outlet. Three-pronged plugs mustn't be forced into four-pronged outlets. A three-pronged plug mustn't be used in a two-pronged outlet, either.


Replace blown fuses, or if there's a circuit breaker, check it for tripped breakers. Sometimes the trip won't be obvious, so cycle the circuit breakers. Turn them all the way off and then back on again.


Plug another appliance in the outlet. You will find this easier with three-pronged appliances. Simply plug a toaster, or other appliance into the microwave's outlet, and see if it works. If it works, you know the problem is with the microwave, not the power circuit. Have the microwave serviced or replace it. If the toaster or other appliance doesn't turn on, you know the problem is with the circuit.

Veradas use a special two pronged bulb. I'm not sure if it is a two pronged h4 or a larger h7.
Switch you're high beam lights to the normal beams for the time being (assumeing they are working fine) then take it to mitsubishi for new bulbs

Hope i could help you.
Have a nice day : )

Whatever resolution your PS3 is outputting isn't supported by your television. Figure out what resolutions it can handle (it'll be 480p, 720p, something like that; probably written on the TV itself, definitely in the TV's user manual). Navigate to your console's display settings. It should be Settings > Display Settings. Select the Video Output Settings, choose your connection type (which wire you're using to connect to the TV), and then select the resolutions your television can handle.

Sony has a much better guide to doing this, with pictures! (everyone loves pictures)

Hope this was helpful!

If it's the first time using your PS3, use the composite cables that came with it. Turn on the PS3 go to video settings and switch the input to HDMI. After you've switched to HDMI, turn the PS3 off and connect your HDMI cable, go back to video settings and change the resolution to 1080p. If this isn't the first time you've used HDMI for your PS3, make sure your T.V. is on the correct input. If the T.V. is on the correct input, try switching the HDMI cable to a different input. If that doesn't work try using a different HDMI cable, testing different HDMI connections if you're still getting the black screen. If none of those work then it's probably a problem with the PS3, but just to make sure try plugging something else with HDMI to see if that works. If another HDMI device works, then it's your PS3, if it doesn't then it could be a problem with your HDMI connections on the T.V.

Does your TV work on VGA, it maybe worthwhile getting a HDMI---VGA lead and try that as it sounds like your TV isn't working, and you've tried the obvious. Do any other HDMI devices work on your TV, like DVD HD/SAT?

You need to reset the resolution, try these steps :

Step 1. Turn the PS3 off into standby (red light on)

Step 2. Press and hold the power button. It will beep as soon as you press it and then about 5 seconds later it will beep again. Let go of the power button when you hear this second beep.

Step 3. Wait for your PS3 to start.

This solution basically resets the video output back to standard definition.

The first thing I would suspect is a noisy AC supply. Try using a ground adaptor. Sounds technical, but if you every went to Grandpa's he may have been using a few and you just didn't know what they were. They are commonly used to adapt a 3 prong electrical plug to a 2 prong AC outlet. If your TV does have a 3 prong AC cord, give this a try before you do anything. It's a cheap solution and often works like a charm.

You should have received another 3 prong cable adapter with the PS3 - if so use this one

Have you tried this PS3 on another TV?
We've had some older TV's that will do that on their own... that's the only reason I ask.

Well there are various opinions on this forum, but the one shows up most definitely as a solution is to prevent the ground prong on the PS3 power cord from getting into the socket, something to do with a ground-loop issue. They suggest getting a 2-prong to 3-prong adapter/extension, or, cut off the ground-prong.
Other things mentioned elsewhere include purchasing non-oem video cables... people suggest that the ones which come with the PS3 ****.

I myself have never experienced these issues, so I cannot verify them first-hand.

About the screen shakes... here's a fixya link which seems to get to a successful resolution.. check it out:
