You gave too technical an answer . I'm 80 years old & don't know what you are talking about.

blood pressure is 114 over 73 and am 59 years old is that good or bad...

Hi
High definition [HDMI] is a format used in tranmitting signals with cable connection. Transmissions are of analogue, and so the set will recogonize it and will chanve to it automatically when you connect the extrnal antenna. There is no way to chage an analogue signal to digital within the Tv itsef. It will display the signal as it is. Definition of analoge signals will be very less than [HDMI]. OK.

We have nothing to do with MFG or Dealer
automobile warrantees

You talk to a dealer about your car
recalls & warrantee work

If you have as I see, a 2000 vehicle ,
well it was out of warrantee years ago

I don't know why, but we get a few
warrantee questions every week on
ten year old cars

3or 4 years,35,000 miles your done,move on

its a heavy duty machine, nearest that you can get to a commercial machine. but with it being that old maybe worth about 100 to 150 if it sews good.

If by HD compatible you're talking about the new digital signal, if you're TV is more than 3 years old, the answer is no. However, if you're talking about being capable of displaying a high definition picture (720p or 1018i or 1080p) then you can determine this by looking at the inputs on the back of the set. If you have component inputs which are red, blue, and green for video and a red and white for audio, or an HDMI input, then, yes, the TV is HD ready. S-video and composite video (yellow video input) cannot support a high definition picture.

I hope I've provided you useful assistance and that this information allows you to make an informed decision as to how to proceed from here.I hope I've earned a positive rating from you today.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I'd try, firmware update and a system restore, but if that doesn't work it's probably:

A Sony defect with the blu-ray lasers. They only last 1-3 years with average use. If your PS3 is less than a year old and you still have the original receipt Sony will repair the problem for free. Otherwise they're going to charge you $150 for the repair. You can reach them at: 1-800-345-SONY

Unless you have a technical background in electronics there's nothing I would suggest doing. A firmware update and or CD /DVD cleaner disk will do nothing for your problem. I've fixed more than 100 PS3's with this exact problem so I know exactly what I'm talking about.

It's the blu-ray drive for sure.
