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!

bump.. anyone?


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..

    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    I honestly can't recommend any of the big 3 this years I'd say buy a rog ally z1 if we're being honest
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Honestly after the PS3 and 360 I just went full PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah even bt support for Xbox one controllers are just as easy as pairing
     +1
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    considering the steamdeck can emulate the switch (yikes) theres almost 0 reason to buy the switch apart from playing online and using cartridges
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I remember having to manually put in drivers and what not
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah the 360 dongles sucked
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But the new Xbox pads? PIr it up and if a game supports it it just works
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most emulators even automatically detect them now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's a good time to be alive lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Pi4 and Batocera works with them perfectly too
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd like to see future tap to pair options like you hold it over a scanner and it just automatically pairs
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No need for additional cords buttons or anything
