PS3 wont display using HDMI ports and Input connection on PT-52LCX66

becaue you need to enable hdmi on the setting of your TV and perhaps you also need to adjust to the same HDMI value in both PS3 and TV Menus

Note: How to reset video output settings
If you are attempting to change to an HDMI cable from a different video cable or if the video output settings do not match those required for the display in use, the screen may stay black. If the screen stays black for more than 30 seconds, you may need to reset the video output settings of the PS3.

To reset video output settings:

1. Turn the PS3 system off by holding the Power button on the front of the console till you see the power light turn red.
2. Then hold the power button on the front of the console for at least five seconds until you hear a second beep to turn the system on again. The video output settings will automatically be reset to the standard resolution.

Minimum Requirements

• PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system
• SIXAXISTM wireless controller (and USB cable)
• AC power cord
• HDMI cable1 (sold separately)
• TV or display monitor with HDMI port and capable of displaying picture in HD resolution
• Updated system software installed on your PS3
  Visit PS3 System Software Update to download and install the most recent version.
• TV "Input" or "Video" channel for the HDMI port
  You need to know the TV "Input" or "Video" channel for the HDMI port on your TV. For instance, if your TV has multiple "Input" or "Video" channels, (i.e., "Input 1", "Input 2", "Input 3", etc.), you will need to toggle through each "Input" channel on your TV until you find the correct channel that displays the HDMI picture. This is important to remember, especially if you do not see the HDMI picture after you connect the cable and configure the PS3 settings. Please refer to the TV instruction manual for more information.

Is the TV turned on and set to the input that you have the HDMI cable connected to?

Have you tried other HDMI ports on the TV?

Have you tried it with another HDMI cable?

Have you tried it with another TV?

never plug in hdmi when comp.is on you may burn your hdmi port

Make sure you are on right input. On your remote press input until you are on the right one.

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.

If you just bought the PS3 use your composite cables that came with the system. Turn the PS3 on and go to the video settings, set up video input to HDMI. After you've done that plug your HDMI back into your PS3 and try turning it on. If that works go back to video settings and change the resolution to 1080p. If that doesn't work make sure your T.V. is on the same input that the HDMI cable is plugged in. If it is and still doesn't work try switching to a different HDMI port. If switching to a different HDMI port doesn't work try a new HDMI cable. If the new HDMI cable doesn't work then there is a problem with the port on the PS3 which would require a repair.

Hi sshorne9780,

I see that you are having a check input error on the Monitor/LCD that your are connecting to your Dell tower, please see steps below.

• On your HP 2310E make sure that your HP is set to the input/source that you are using and make sure that you only use one type of video cable for the issue.
• I see that you mentioned that you have a VGA cable and a DVI cable, you can only use one type of cable for a video connection.
• VGA would be the Blue tipped cable connecting to the tower and going to the LCD monitor.
• DVI this is a black cable connecting to a white port much bigger than a VGA port and is rectangular in shape unlike the VGA
• 
• and on your LCD monitor check the input type to see video from the tower.
• everything seems to be OK you just need to change the input of your LCD monitor for the video to show up on the screen.
• also if you are using HDMI for the video u will need to change the setting of your Audio and set HDMI as the Default to have Audio come out from the HDMI connection together with video, the HDMI viedo will automatically be detected as long as the LCD monitor's input is set to HDMI.

I hope that this will able to help resolve your concern.

Thank you for choosing Fixya,

As you already checked PS3 and HDMI cable,
select HDMI input in TV and connect PS3 via HDMI cable. TV should show PS3 picture.
And if still no joy then HDMI input port in TV is bad and need to replace input board/ main board.

I can't be exactly sure without more information, but it sounds like you ps3 is outputting from another port. My ps3 originally was outputting from the component/composite cable port so in order to use the hdmi output I had to do a soft reset. That makes the ps3 sense what cable is plugged into it and automatically output through that port instead of using whatever is the saved setting.

With your ps3 turned on hold down the power button for a few second until it beeps and flashes 3 times (should be about 5 seconds). You might have to try it a few times to get it to work, but you should get picture and be able to adjust the settings on the ps3.
