I just some research on this issue, i your PS3 is not broke, it has to do with resolution settings or a bad HDMI cable

I did just rework my cables and now that I think of it, my shitty DVR isn't so shitty anymore and now my PS3 is screwing up so maybe the two HDMI cables they were on got switched...

Can you point me to the articles or other forum posts you found please?

How many wall power sockets are you using for your entertainment setup? You may just be pulling too much juice from the wall which could be causing you problems.

Hmm, that could be an idea.  I have everything plugged into two surge protectors coming from one socket.  I'm sure I can find a surge protector with a longer cord and I can probably move things to another socket.

The only odd thing is I've had it set up like that for about two years and haven't had a problem.

well...its definitely has to with TV vs PS3, or a bad HDMI

Before my 60GB PS3 died, I got to see many wonderful sights.

Solid Snake without a head.

Solid Snake with half a gun.

Solid Snake gone green.

I was so pissed off about that.



Tease.

Crap, actually, I think my PS3 is about to die. ;_;

Last night while playing Uncharted (trying to get the platinum trophy, I want at least one) I noticed every now and then the screen flickering to gray so I stopped playing it for the night. I just started it back up and the flickers are back (though not nearly as bad) but now the screen went black for a few seconds and then came back in.

It's not hot back there at all, I think it just might be its time.

So I guess another question: I have an 80gig with full BC and 4 USB ports, I still get that back if I send it in for repairs correct?

That's what you get for selling your other two.

you probably was too drunk that you spelt all the beer on your Ps3

 

@ OP

if its black cross shaped things flickiring , then thats bad luck those are the old ps3 models and you have to return it

if its grey than you might want to change the HDMI , if that didnt work than mess a little with the t.v (alot of Samsung t.vs have this problem) if all else fails then show  your RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGEEEE at sony

that doesn't sound like a PS3 problem at all....never heard of that you sure it isnt your TV or the cables not being plugged in??

The screen going black might be the cables but the gray flashes usually mean a burnt out graphics card.

When the gray flashes happened last night I had hoped maybe it was just the random bug because I did restart the game before quitting and it seemed to work fine but I did also have my PS3 on just about all day either playing games or watching movies.  It didn't feel too hot back there but it's not in an as ventilated place as before either (still should be ventilated enough though).

 


Well at least you know as well as I that this happens. AS PC gamers we know GPUs can burn out quite randomly.

Another one of these threads...

I seriously feel bad for you, man. It's like you have the worst luck ever. There's always something else going wrong with your ps3, or some other problem you're having.

I must say, though, that whenever I see one of these threads, it brings a smile to my face. ^_^

@kasz: Hah.

Your PS3 is commiting suicide because it can't bear to be in the same house as you.

Seriously, though, try leaving the PS3 unplugged while you sleep. Give it some rest, it might start working better.
