Hello there! I have a problem on my PS3(slim cech-2512-b) and it's driving me nuts! It's only displaying at 480p, a few days ago it's displaying fine at 720p/1080p using my stock HDMI and playing MGS V TPP, just bought a new Sony HDMI cable it is still the same..


Tried doing the reset video output, while ps3 is off(red light), pressed power button until it beeps twice, received a prompt that I'm trying to connect and HDMI, accepted yes and the screen turns black for 30mins and reverts to 480p again..


I have tried using my ps2's component cable and it did 1080p though..


Can any1 help me troubleshoot my ps3? I'm dying to play MGS again thru HDMI..


Thanks so much!

Before I send my PS3 for repairs next year.. I'm thinking that my HDMI port might have been damaged or something..

I don't think the HDMI port is damaged since it still displays something. Maybe the cable is faulty? Not exactly sure.

I had a HDMI cable that refused to display anything but 480p and 1080p so I bought a new cable.
Click to expand...


yeah, I already replaced my stock HDMI cable to a Sony one, my PS3 displayed 1080p after playing once and on playing the console next day, its back to 480p..


Tried swapping the cable ends, PS3 displayed 1080p, after my next gaming session, can't display 1080p again(back at 480p), yeah it's weird.


Will try to get other HDMI cables as you said.


Maybe the cause if also over-heating? When I touch the back of the ps3, it's quite hot.. I'm now looking for good fans to suck heat at the back of my consoles.

anymore help? Just bought a Wii U and I'm getting 1080p, 60fps for the same HDMI cable and same HDMI port.


Guess, it's really my PS3, the HDMI port or GPU must've melted..

    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice

    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.

    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US

    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.

    Issue is it's too rich of a coperation already with bad sugar diets causing diabetes and killing teeth a new set of teeth around 90k
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

    If it's needed to keep you healthy it shouldn't cost you $90k. The fact that it does is an enormous problem

    but yeah, affordable is all i'm asking for

    And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government. I'm certainly trying to. Don't throw your hands up and go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy
