Just send the Elite to me.
Is it an old T.V. ?

[justdoneit23]

new samsung 37 inch.. had it for like a month and its been great.. i cant figure this thing out

my guess is the PS3 is crap... lol no really the cable on the PS3 is probably bad and you need a new one

[SiK GambleR]

mabey its not plugged into that back of the ps3 all the way..

are you using the same inputs that you used for the xbox, (example, the plug-ins in the front?) if not use those..

otherwise either your ps3 or ps3's cables are crap.

(well the ps3 is always crap.....)

I agree with both of you. The only real reason I'd ever get a PS3 is for 2 games only. Guitar Hero 3 and DMC 4. Of course, they're coming to 360 also( GH3 is for Ps3, PS2, Wii, and 360!)

yea it sounds like a bad av cable to me

[GodfatherObie]

make sure all your plugs are in, set the channel

then turn the TV off at the wall, turn it back on, and for the majority of problems that should work (does happen occasionally with some Inputs)
If possible get a HDMI cable (if your TV supports it)
then run 1 console via HDMi & 1 via component.

As I'm sure everyone knows the official figure for faulty ps3's are one of the lowest known of any electrical item (compared to 360 which is officially one of th ehighest which has not been withdrawn from sale)so it's unlikely its your system
the lead may be the problem, Try a friends, or buy a cheap one,

But turning your TV off might work

if you have an elite, why don't you just connect the elite with HDMI, and the ps3 with its composite cables, there are usually two composite cable input on a new TV, to try plugging it in to the other one.

[Kyle1020]

same thing happened to me
use your original cables and see if that works
then go to system settings and change the display to the right output

Hold down the power button for 5 seconds.

My guess is you switched to HDMI one day, and now you're trying to go back to the red yellow white component. But the PS3 is still booting in HDMI, so just hold your finger on the power button for 5 seconds and it'll boot to the default (component).
