How do i resolve my broken HDMI socket on my 40GB PS3?

Read the directions again. If it doesn't tell you how then contact the TV manufacturer customer service.

If you hold the power button down for 5 seconds the video output should reset to standard definition.

Hope this helps

Hdmi is your picture and you sound.Unless you do like me and use hdmi for picture and rca for the surround sound.

HDMI doesn't usually like being plugged in live so turn everything off before you connect leads
On the PS3 you might have to reselect the output preference so hold on the power for a few seconds, you'll hear multiple beeps and hopefully it will auto select the resolution etc.

Make sure, your hdmi or scart cable is properly inserted.
Try hollding down the power button (when you turn ps3 on) untill you hear it beep twice , this hould reset the a/V input and sort out your problem

I have the PS3 and this TV and it works....Try this.

1. Turn ON TV
2. Connect HDMI from TV to PS3
3. Select the correct HDMI input on the TV for the PS3(important)
4.Turn OFF PS3 if it is ON.
5. hold [I/O] Power button on PS3
6. Wait about 5 second and you should get the "HDMI Detected" or some similar message.
7. Configure the HDMI output for the PS3

Also, If you set the PS3 to "auto" for hdmi, it may set the resolution to 1080i. You may want to deselect everthing but the 1080P.

It's not possible without a special external video box. You can poke around ebay to see if there is one that will do what you want. I'd try searching for "PS3 converter"

I had the same problem at first. I did the following:

1. Connect both cables: Multi-AV and HDMI.
2. Go to the TV's channel for SCART.
3. You now can see the PS3. Go to Display Settings, under
Settings menu. Select HDMI and the desired resolution.
4. Change to the HDMI channel.
5. You should now also see the PS3's XMB on the HDMI channel.
6. You can now disconnect the Multi-AV.

I hope this information can help you and your customer.
Please rate.

P.S. I figured you were Dutch since you used Neophyte as a name for your previous question. Are you Dutch, and in that case: what videogames store you work at?
