    weve tried the holding down of the button.The only colors that show are blue and green when on. It doesnt show a picture when turned on.

  • jenjen2662 Aug 03, 2009

    the day the ps3 was downed the sony entertainment screen popped up but the profiles never showed up. when that happened we kept on reseting it but sometimes there would be no picture but, the sony entertainment would show again (only sometimes). but now nothng is happening. and there's no red light after a little while.

Maybe there is a bad connection in the cable that goes from the playstation to the TV. Try wiggling the cable and change positions. Is this the only problem? There is just no picture? Or is there a red light after a while?

    -Turn off the ps, unplug everything, let it sit for 30 seconds, plug all the cables back in, and turn it on.
    -Try resetting the ps: hold the power button in for 15 seconds

    I wouldn't recommend that you take it apart and start juggling with the stuff inside the cabinet. I think you should leave that to the guys who knows what they are doing :) See if you can borrow some cables from someone else.. Or try your cables on someone elses playstation and TV. It's not the cooling. If the problem was the cooling, it would most likely start up with sound and a picture, but shut down after a while due to overheating. Do you use stock cables or HDMI cable? It could be something wrong with the port on HDMI port on the playstation, and that is only fixed by sending it in to Sony. So my best advice is to send it to Sony and let them deal with the problem. I don't think there is anything you could do with it by yourself. I have seen others having this problem as well, and they fixed it at Sony.

    My best of luck to you!

Turn your ps3 off, wait a minute then turn it back on but keep holding the power button down until u hear the beeps, then it should restore your display settings.

Nothing shows on screen when inserting game , i hear the disc is turning but nothing shows on screen

Make sure you have the cables hooked up properly, regardless of whether your using an HDMI cable or regular A/V cables.

Best thing to do in a case like this is to do a factory reset on your PS3. Be sure that the A/V cables are being used originally and are hooked up properly.

Here is how to do the factory reset on a PS3:

1 - Turn on TV and set input to port being used.
2 - Make sure PS3 is connected via correct cable.
3 - Power on PS3 via power button and HOLD IT for 5 seconds (release after the second beep). It should automatically configure your PS3 to the TV's native resolution for all settings.

Try that, if you still don't get video and you know the cables and the TV are set to the right output then its an issue with the main board not having any output.

PS3 start screen will not show up on my TV

I had this problem before. I messed with the settings on my PS3 and My TV until the settings matched. My PS3 would show the home until I loaded a game. I turned off then on my PS3 to get to the settings. My TV manual had the types of videos it supported so I went with the second to highest setting it supported and it worked. Hope this helps.

PS3 won't even show the menu screen

I suggest trying to reset the system by turing the system off first. ( Do not cut the power switch off in the back of the system). Then hold the on button for 3 beeps. See what happens.

Ps3 all black when i turn it on

ok a long shot but i did read somewere that if u hold down the power button for 10 seconds it detects or calibrates to the current TV that is connected its worth a try if nothing else, if this didnt help sorry but if it did enjoy :)

P.S. i dont know if the console needs to already be running to do this.
