Why is my HDMI output not working?

My PS3 slim was running as if it was superior to PS4 (that was a hyperbole). Once suddenly the HDMI output stopped working after 2 months of not playing. Then, I changed to an SD for some time and then got a new HDMI cable. It worked.

After almost a year of well working, Suddenly the HDMI output stopped working when I was playing Minecraft. I tried using a new cable, but this time it didn't work.

I searched a lot of IFIXIT forums and all around google. Everyone said,"hold the power button till the second beep." A guy also said that you should handshake,i.e. reset the video setting for a million times around (a hyperbole). I did try all of these but the problem didn't get resolved. SD output's rendering is very poor on my TV that if I see 10 building in HDMI assassin's creed 1, I see only 3 in SD.

How do I fix it?

Should I consider visiting a Sony centre?

I just had the same problem you had, and the solution i found is this.

Step 1: Unplug the PS3 power cable from the back of the console

Step 2: Make sure the only cable currently plugged in to your PS3 is the HDMI cable

Step 3: Unplug your TV power cord from the TV if possible, if not just unplug it from the wall

Step 4: Unplug any splitters from their power sources as well

Step 5: Leave your TV, PS3 and other devices unplugged for 30 minutes or so

Step 6: Plug back in your TV power supply and turn it on

Step 7: Plug back in any splitters you have

Step 8: Plug back in your PS3 power supply, and make sure the TV is set to the proper input channel

Step 9: Turn on your PS3 it should now work.

Your method was well organized, I didn't try it yet because I don't use my PS3 during weekdays. Only thing is that what are splitters and do you have any alternative method that I can use of this didn't work,because almost all the methods I came across till now we're useless. Lucky if this works!

The splitter i mentioned is this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/rocketfish-4....

I do not have an alternative method of fixing this, I was having the same problem you have been having, with every solution not working. Then I found this solution and it worked for me.

crwdns2934271:0Mha 14, 2017crwdnd2934271:0 Michael Frank crwdne2934271:0

Oh thank you, I'll better try this method before asking further questions.

Your IC ( HDMI) Is overheated and you need to change the hdmi

@rishirockzz how would you check if your ic chip was overheated? I think this kind of comment helps alot whne everyone else is saying do a video reset.

crwdns2934271:0Sun 18, 2021crwdnd2934271:0 Joey Merchant crwdne2934271:0

My apologies, "IC(HDMI)" was slightly misleading and I thought they were talking about the HDMI cable which also has an alias "IC".

Sometimes your HDMI cable is just broken. the only answer is to get a new ps3 and transfer the data via ethernet cable
