My PS3 wont display.

Is it the 3 prong display cable? Is it the same cable as the PS2? Will an HDMI cable work better on my plasma tv?

    Well I have the red,white and yellow display cable. But I'm not getting any display what so ever. Is the PS3 damaged?

You could use the hdmi cable or the composite cable(like the old playstation one with the 3 leads but different colours,not red,white,yellow.)
both would be better for a plasma.
make sure your screen can utilise 1080 for hdmi.
if 720 or 480 use the composite cable.

    try resetting like this.
    hold down the on/off button until it beeps once, then wait a few
    seconds until it beeps again, the ps3 will have reset itself and will
    adjust the visual settings to fit your tv

My ps3 work fined at first with the three prongs cable then i used the HDMI and it work fine but when i go to a different tv and use the three prong it wont show nothing, it only works if i uses the HDMI...

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.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa

PS3 hdmi only working on some displays

I have noticed using an HDMI cable that with some of the newer tvs you have to set up the tv also to enable HDMI for a game system. Like you said before internet tv and blueray dvd player work fine. Try adjusting the settings on the tvs themselves. I have a 50in DLP mitsubishi, and had a very troubling time getting my ps3 to work on that particular tv set while it worked flawlessly on other sets. And what I had to do was enter my tv setup menu and then power on my ps3 with both my AV and HDMI cables connected, it would pick up the AV first. Then I would alter the video settings on the PS3 for HDMI, and unplug the AV cable. Exit the tv menu and then reenter it. Then I had to setup my HDMI port from the tv to game in order for it to work, where you can set options ar usually like cable/dvd/sat, and so on. Without my TV being set to game that way it would not work. Try this and see if it helps. Good Luck.
