Sw1ft562 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 this has happened a few times in the last couple months. (only while playing gtao) ill get a ''no signal'' black screen (but sound is still on), then after a few seconds it comes back on. this sh*t is not good. the av output stopped working after the first few months of getting this ps3.. now all of a sudden this starts happening with hdmi too. does anybody know the exact problem? and can it be fixed without replacing the console itself?

RyanBurnsRed Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Is it a PS3 slim? Maybe the motherboard is going bad? Try resetting your video configurations and see if that does anything. If not, then delete the game data and redownload it. I have a 2007 80GB PS3 and never had problems like that happen. Only the usual freezing. If this was on PC I would attribute this to video driver (most of the time) or video card failure. But this is a console, so I have no idea. Good luck though.

(apart of the moh warfighter bundle) i doubt the game data or video settings has anything to do with it. i know its the ps3.. i just need to know what it is, and can it be replaced without losing anything.

RyanBurnsRed Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm not sure. You probably could. I found this http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/can-you-backup-your-ps3-to-your-pc.453671755/ Not sure if it will be of any help though.

Sw1ft562 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 i need someone with a jailbroken ps3 to confirm that the hdd can be copied to a computer. if theres a way to do it without jailbreaking, i would love to know. i went to click a link to a page that probably had some help regarding the issue, but i got this message - ''Error 1007 Access denied. The owner of this website (www.ps3hax.net) has banned your IP address'' from a site i never even used before. smh .nobody likes me.

CReaper210 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Could be a bad HDMI cable. It's probably not, but you should try another one if you can, just to make sure.

Guest Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm not an expert by any stretch of the word but have you tried resetting your video settings? When the PS3 is off, hold down the power button for 5 seconds until it beeps. It's most likely just a problem with your HDMI cable.

Aintgottime2bleed Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think its you cable, i used to get random black screen ( short ones, long ones, alot or like once a while ). Its very annoying while playing, after i put in hdmi cable again it was no problem. So re plug it or buy new cable or play w/o hd cable.

DarrinPA Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 So re plug it or buy new cable or play w/o hd cable. He already mentioned that his AV Output stopped working a few months after getting the PS3. HDMI is his only choice.
