Board 8 > Uhh my ps3 has no video just a black screen

(+) Yeah! (+)

I had my PS3 on downloading something, and when I looked back on it the screen was black. I turned it off, on again and it was black. I can see video with the AVI cables, but setting on HDMI is no good. I used both HD ports in the back of the TV and three HDMI cables can it's still black. I use my 360 and it displays in HD fine in the same port and same cable. I don't understand what's going on, it was working absolutely perfect until like a half hour ago. Can anyone please help?

Try turning on the system and holding the power button until you hear a second beep. Maybe that'll set your video straight.

Try what Weaku suggested, and if that doesn't work, then (using an AVI connection), back up everything you can from the hard drive, and go to System Settings > Factory Reset.

It'll wipe your hard drive, but might fix any glitches that have wormed their way into the system. Worked for me when it stopped launching any games (it could still recognise the type of disc, and even play the XMB animation on PS3 games, but trying to actually play a disc would just give a black screen).

Yeah trying to reset the system like that did not work.

Some Uncharted 3 thing.

I tried the PS3 in another TV, and the HD worked fine. So I guess it's my TV in my room????

I deleted the Uncharted 3 thing before trying it in the other room. When I brought it back, I tried it my room and it worked fine again.

I think the lesson I take away here is: Uncharted 3 ruins PS3's, and the only way to fix them is by getting anything UC3 out of it.

I'm too tired to drive anywhere, anyway, right now, do you care if I praise Black Turtle?
Call me numbers.

The proof is in the pudding, or in this case the horribly corrupt UC3
