Issue with Official HDMI cable

I bought an HDMI cable the official one from Sony back in January, oddly after I bought a new HDTV it soon stopped working, I thought it may have been the HDTV or the PS3 itself but it turned out to be a faulty cable. I returned the same one and two weeks later I am experiencing the same issue with a new cable, is it the PS3 or the TV frying the cable or something. I used an unofficial cable and its not giving any problem... for now at least.

I don't know, did you check to see if there's a HDMI 1.2/1.3 difference? I didn't think you could hook up the two, but it may be the origin. Also, if the other cable works, stick with it...

Green shadowing appearing on your HDMI channel playstation 3 playing blu-ray...

I had this poblem on my Bravia television after going to the sony centre where they are meant to be experts on their own televisions the man and engineer claimed they had never heard of this problem (what a joke its one of the most FAQ's on the net)
so we bought a new official HDMI cable with gold plated connectors (What a waste of £30) we still had this problem even using the red white yellow leads didnt fix the problem either.

so we called a company that deals in repairing projection televisions and yes this is a common fault with he playstation 3 it knocks off the factory settings we hd the engineer for a small call out fee no tools or taking the television away was required but a code entered to reset the telvision to its origianl factory settings its like new again.

Sony's internet browser as well as newer games require the newest official firmware to work, as a way of stopping hacking and/or piracy. Your options are switch back to official firmware, or wait until someone in the homebrew community comes up with a fix.

I have a HDMI problem with my PS3. I have it

Try entering Recovery Mode and choose "Restore Default Settings".


If that doesn't help, you may have an HDMI port failure - which will require returning the unit to Sony or sending it to a third-party PS3 repair shop.

Make sure you are using the correct cable. If you are using a HDTV make sure you are using a official HDMI cable. If you are using RGB/SCART, make sure you TV is compatible.

Hdmi Issue

Most new HDMI DVD players use High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)on the HDMI output.If you try to play this on an older TV that is not compliant with these new standards it will not work.This standard came out late in 2004 that is why your older player still works. There is also a service bulletin from JVC about upgrading the software on your TV for HDMI compatiblity issues.If you want a pdf file of the bulletin I can send it to you.
