Try a video reset:
While the PS3 is off (solid red led), Hold Down the power Button until you hear the SECOND BEEP, quickly release.
Let me know if that solves it.

When I hook my PS3 to my Emerson LC320EM9 B the tv goes blank on the HDMI screen and then says unsupported format. What gives?

Something to do with the resolution, just hold the power button on the ps3 for about 10 - 15 seconds. It won't ruin the PS3, it just sets it to it's default settings.

Ps3 from wavy screen to blank screen at start up.

Quick call and its fixed.... Whilst the PS3 is in stand by (red light on) press and hold the on button. Wait until it peeps slowly three times then take the finger off the button. This opens up a factory reset. Work from the top down and see which one fixes your PS3. For me it was a full reset, but at least it keeps your updgrades. :o(

Blank screen for demo's

I was have the same problem with F1 only and I did the reset .
That fix my problem

Hard Reset procedure for the PS3 (as instructed by Sony CS).

Be sure to backup your settings/games saves by doing a System > Backup on your PS3 or you may lose your game saves!

1. Power Off the PS3 via the power switch in back and power back on w/switch.

2. Hold Power Button on the Front until you hear 3 beeps.

3. Then go through the initial setup and then run a full Format via System > Format. (will take approx 3 1/1 hours). You may need to have our AV cables ready if your using HDMI (in case HDMI isn't detected after initial reset).

4. Restore your backup you made prior to doing factory/hard reset (optional, if you created a backup).

Ps3 startup software won't load correctly

turn on ps3 leave on stand by (red light), hold eject button and power button until you hear beeps and a message appears. connect controller and press ps button. system restore screen should appear, select restart system and from there it should restore everything back to normal. This worked for me, for clear instruction go to http://blogallalong.com/2008/12/05/ps3-green-light-on-and-system-wont-start/#comment-31058

The "NO VIDEO/PIXELATED VIDEO/FROZEN VIDEO" problem is all too common on the PS3. It results from overheating of the RSX and/or CELL processor. if the ps3 shuts down on its own it is due to overheating. It is necessary to disassemble the unit and apply AS5 compound and shim the heatsinks to ensure proper contact between the fan assembly heat sink and the processors. I can do this for $55 or you can send to SONY if under warranty.
