Have, to my knowledge, correctly connected the PS3 with the TV using AV cables and an HDMI cable. Everything else has been correctly connected as well. Here's what happens when it doesn't turn on: 1) I flip the back switch On, and slide my finger over the front On sensor. 2) I hear the fans quickly, for only part of a second, start working, then suddenly shut down again, never coming back on for the rest of the session. 3) I notice that the HDD light near the USB ports are not on. 4) I notice that only the green light is On; this is on the PS3's front. 5) During all this, the screen is completely black, displaying no menu at all, and there is no audio.
Here's what happens when it does turn on:
1) I turn it on with the sensor 2) As usual, a little static comes on for the image(signaling that that session will turn on the PS3), and the PS3 menu starts to load. Fans go on, then immediately turn off. 3) The HDD light blinks a little and then is gone. 4) Following this, the screen will freeze in a matter of seconds or a few minutes. I cannot perform any updates. 5) I would then have to hold down the power button for 15 seconds to allow the system to turn off sustaining a solid red light. If it doesn't freeze, it turns off by itself, sustaining a flashing red light.
OK it sounds like a problem I had with one of the units that came into my shop, I do believe you will need a new part which means you will need to break the seal. I suggest you call sony and see what they say and what they will do for you. 1-800-345-SONY (7669)
If they want to charge you id say forget it and try it yourself.
i can send you a guide to help you fix it.
I am thinking a sensor board or a power supply could be others and its hard since its not in my face but let me know what sony says and letss fix this baby.
I do also buy broken ps3s and can help you find a steal on a used or new unit!

Which generation playstation are you referring to The PS2 or PS3. The PS2 would be connected with a composite cable by default i.e red white and yellow cable. Connect the cable to the corresponding input on the TV, match color codes. Switch to correct input by using your remote controller. Press the AV button and a list of inputs come's up.Select av1 or av2 and check if you get a picture. If you use a ps3 then same as before press AV button on remote and select appropriate option on screen HDMI,Component or Composite.
Firstly what cable are u using avi or hdmi...You will need to set the tv channel to hdmi if you use that cable or av 1 or av 2 if you use the red,yellow,white cable...Please get back to me with what cable you are using so i can help you further thanks nikki
The
PlayStation 3 (PS3) is a high-definition gaming console that supports
both standard AV connections and high-resolution connections (such as
HDMI). Most of the older Philips TVs come with a standard AV input.
Newer, flat-panel Philips TVs include standard AV inputs and
high-resolution inputs. To get the best video quality
out of your PS3, using an HDMI connection is recommended if the option
is available. The PS3 does not include an HDMI cable, only a standard AV
cable
2
Connect the flat end of the PS3 AV cable into the "AV Multi Out" port on the back of the PS3.
3
Connect the "red," "white" and "yellow" prongs on the
opposite end of the PS3 AV cable into the corresponding "red," "white"
and "yellow" AV inputs on the TV (usually located on the side or in the
back).
4
Press the "Source" button on the Philips TV remote.
5
Select the "AV" video display mode.
6
Turn on the PS3. The PS3 logo will appear on the screen.
I have the same problem. I get the "Mode Not Supported" message on my Samsung pn50b860 when I try to run the PS3 through the HDMI. Any solutions/suggestions yet?
did you move the ps3 while it was on. If you did the reset for AV should repair both the AV problem and your HDMI as well. Shoot me a message back if it works or doesn't.
make sure video cable is plugged in all the way on back of ps3. the a/v cable is little tricky. it looks like its plugged all the way but its not. also if doesnt work, if u have hdmi cable use it then go to display settings, then connetions. set it up as av cable connection then it will ask about audio - av rca connetions. and save. now its set up as av cables and then when u use hdmi it will automatically set up hdmi.
you have to manually change the output in the settings menu back to ANALOG Using an HDMI TV or monitor 1st, when you select RCA, or AV output and restart, it will work, but when you switch back, you have to change it (back to HDMI output) on the analog monitor, or use analog TV inputs, then reboot PS3 and connect HDMI.
I do not know why Sony did not make this switch automatic and self scanning on boot, but alas I have had the same issue, so I know this is your problem, not the AV cables.
Please give a fixya rating if you find this solves your problem, Thanks for the question
You are supplied with a Composite
AV cable which would typically look like the below image
Connect the AV Multi Out Connector
to the socket on the back of your PS3 Console.
Match the colors of the Jacks with
the connectors on the TV which says "Video in".
Connecting with an HDMI
Cable:
HDMI cable is not supplied with the PS3. You need to purchase it
seperately. This cable would enhance the audio-video quality of your
TV.
Just connect one end of the
connector to the HDMI OUT connector socket on the back of the console
Connect the other end to the
socket on the back of your TV which says HDMI IN.
Connecting with an
Optical cable:
You need to purchase an Optical cable if you wish to connect your PS3
console through a digital audio device (Home theater, AV receiver
etc.,). You need to connect Video ouput seperately with a help of Video
output cable (HDMI, AV Cable etc.,)
Connect one end of the optical
cable to "Audio Out" socket on the console
Connect the other end to the audio
receiver.
Note: You can also connect your console to the
Internet to use the Playstation 3 internet capabilities. Here's how
you do it:
The Playstation 3 only supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T type
networks. It needs a High speed internet connection. Do not connect it
to a standard telephone connection or cables that are not supported.
It might cause a malfunction or damage to the system.
lol i wish that it was
