I cut my ps3 on and it was working fine, then the screen just went blank and now there's no video
I would first try changing the inputs if there is an HDMI cable connected the PS3 will detect it and change the output to HDMI. Make sure when you connect any HDMI cables that the power is off on ALL Units that are using HDMI. Connect the cables then power up all units. Change TV and Receiver or Amp to correct HDMI Inputs. On the PS3 go to Display Settings over to the left of the Crossbar. Select output settings and select HDMI and everything after select AUTOMATIC! Then Set your Audio (Also use Auto) and Save by pressing X. Good Luck!
SOURCE: ps3 plays video games, not bluray movies or dvds
I would start with a firmware update (2.60) and also a full system restore. That should fix the problem. Let me know. I'm a PS3 expert!

sorry maybe I should have been more clear. My ps3 was connected with an hdmi cable and has been since I bought it (used). All of the sudden, yesterday, when I powered on the system, there was a picture, but then it just went black. So I played around with the cables, tried the component and composite cables and still no video. While I was playing around, the video flashed for a split second and then went black again and it's been black ever since. So, my concern is did something burn out on the motherboard or maybe something overheated?
Sorry, I should have been a little clearer in describing my issue. My ps3 was connected with an

out on the motherboard or maybe something overheated? And if so, is this a problem that I can fix on my own?
Nevermind, it fixed itself! I've heard of ppl having issue due to the lasted update Sony put out, but I hadn't heard of the screen going black for hrs!
