The HD goes out on my PS3 and I have to use my AVI cables until it just decides its going to work on HD again. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
Re: The HD goes out on my PS3 and I have to use my AVI...
Sounds like some connections have been damaged. the wires may not be touching correct points etc, so that would explain the decision-swapping. ring sony and get them to have a look at it

This happens when you change the output settings to HD, then switch back to regular a/v because the tv dosen't recognize the signal. Thankfully there is an easy fix. Just turn the PS3 system on using the power button on the front and continue to hold it until you hear a second "beep" sound from the system. then picture should beging to work again.
When you attach your Play Station 3 to an HD TV through an HDMI port,
the Play Station 3 will ask you if you wish to switch to HD Mode.
However,
if you decide to move it to another TV that is not HD compatible, you
will get no picture because the Play Station 3 is “stuck” in HD (HDMI)
mode.
Follow these steps to resolve your problem:
1. Turn
off the PS3 so it only shows a red light. You can hold the power button
on the front until it goes into standby. To be sure, flick the power
switch on the back of the Play Station 3 off and then back on.
2.
Make sure your Play Station 3 is connected to your regular TV (not
HDTV) with the standard video cables.
3. Press and hold the power
button until the screen "flickers" and then immediately release. This
should reset the video settings.
4. Wait a few seconds, and the
Play Station 3 (PS3) logo should appear.
If this does not resolve
the problem, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the PS3 so it only
shows a red light. You can hold the power button on the front until it
goes into standby. To be sure, flick the power switch on the back of the
Play Station 3 off and then back on.
2. Make sure your Play
Station 3 is connected to your regular TV (not HDTV) with the standard
video cables.
3. Press and hold the power button on the front
until the Play Station 3 beeps and then turns off again. This should
reset the video for you and you can turn it back on after this.
That’s
it! You can play your Play Station 3 again!

I had this exact same problem, or rather my friend did after I borrowed his PS3. You see when I borrowed it, the console configured the HD output to work with my TV, If this happened to
you, there is a fix, With the HD cable connected, turn off the power to your PS3 and then turn it
back on again. But when you turn it on, hold down the power button until
you see something on the screen. When you hold down the power button of
the PS3 when you are turning it on, it completely resets the video
settings to the most basic settings (480p I think) so that it'll work on
any TV or monitor. Once you can then get something on the screen, you
can configure the video settings to match the TV you are hooking up to.

Did you ever figure out how to fix this. We simply took our system and hooked it up to a different tv and it stopped. I personally think the problem is with the HDMI cable and wether the cable and the socket are connecting.
To fix the HDMI AV cable issue just do a manual video reset. When you power on the PS3 hold down the power button until you hear two beeps then quickly remove. If you have other problems I would suggest doing a System Restore under Settings.
Yes you do, to reset the PS3 just press the power button and hold it until you hear the second beep, then let it go, your ps3 will go through the video setup again.
try using the composite cables as well.....with your tv set to the composite input go back into the settings and select the HDMI output switch your tv's input back to your HDMI input and remove the composite cables....it should work fine...
