I'm having trouble with HDMI and my PS3. I got my PS3 back in December on my birthday. I had orderd a Psyclone HDMI cable off ebay to go with the PS3 because I heard they were high quality cables. When my parents finally gave me the cable and PS3 on my birthday, I instantly went to test if the HDMI cable worked....nothing but static. It was a mixture of Red Green and Blue. Not the whiteish gray static that you get with SDTVs without a RF cable in them.
I told my mom to inform the seller on ebay...and while I was testing it and moving around the cable, I got it to work. She had already sent the guy the message and he ended up sending us another cable. I was enjoying the HDMI cable and all. Moving it around in certain positions got it to work. As soon as the second HDMI cable came in, I tested it out...same issue, except this one I couldn't get to work no matter how many times I moved it around.
No problem...since I got the first one working and all, right? No, every once in a while, ranging from days to weeks...sometimes a couple of months...the thing just craps out and does the same thing with the static. So I switch back to component for a while and after a while test out to see I can get the HDMI cable to work. I'll get it to work again...cool, but it will just crap out again.
Both of these cables were used, but they seemed to be handled pretty nicely. Nothing I noticed wrong with them. Do you guys think I was had? Is it the cables? Or is it my PS3 or HDTV?
I have a 60GB PS3 and a 42" 1080p Aquos Sharp my parents got back in January of 2007. That's really all the details I can give. I told my Dad and he plans on getting a different HDMI cable to see if it was just the cables being crappy quality...what do you guys think? Is it my PS3, the cable, or the HDTV?
