Ps3 startup software won't load correctly

Problem:

When I turn on my ps3 instead of the nice main menu, I get a blank screen with some pixelation on it. I was using an HDMI connection, so I pulled it, put my regular rca cables back on and reset the dislplay options by holding the power button on front of the ps3, and the same happened so it doesn't appear to be a cable issue. Any ideas??

Solution
:
  1. You have to hold the front power button for about a minute.
  2. hiya, I did the exact same thing, but with a little common sense i finally figured how to get my screen to load again. this is what i did.I went back and plugged in my HDMI cable to the tv it was connected to with the rca cables as well. The HDMI connector should load the screen with its default setting. Go to the settings-display setting-video output setting.change it back to AV MULTI/SCART and just follow the messages. A message will pop up and tell you if the screen goes blank it will reset to its original setting (HDMI setting). Your screen will go blank, in the mean time, change ur television back to either video 1 or video 2, wherever you have ur regular RCA hooked up...you should be able to see the menue. Hit save setting..now ur PS3 should be able to load through the regular RCA cables...hope this help...

  1. I'm not sure how to use blogspot and I basically want this to me a message for Sarwar. You seem to know a lot about Playstation 3s and I have a problem with mine. I just got a 40gb playstaion 3 off of ebay and it seemed to be working fine right away. I went in and defaulted the settings got the hdmi working and started looking at the menu system. I got to a screen that told me that there was a software update available and I started to download it. It was going and seemed to be working fine so I went away and when I came back the screen was messed up. I was pixelated with weird colors and there was a message to press the PS button so I did and nothing happened I don't think the controller was connected so nothing happend. So I cut the power and turned it back on and same thing was on the screen. So i tried to restart it again and then the screen was blank. The controller didn't seem to be connecting and I tried to reset the video by holding the power button and connecting different combos of av conections and nothing seemed to help. I think the update that was running was 2.5something. I need help! Thanks
