Solid Praky Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I have 22" LG flatron monitor with DVI & VGA port. I have connected it with PS3 thru HDMI to DVI cable and playing without an issue. Then one day I used the cable to connect the monitor to my laptop. It was working fine but when I reconnected it to PS3, all I got was a Black screen! I thought may be the cable is at fault but when I connected my laptop it was working fine. I found no solution throughout the internet & also on IVG, eventhough this problem appears to be everywhre. So I decided to buy a new HDMI to DVI connector and tried them yesterday. this time I also connected AV cable along. The PS3 did detect the HDMI but even if I choose to use HDMI, my monitor shows NO SIGNAL error. I reset the display settings of ps3 by holding power button like million times See how many I found on IVG itself, weird thing is nobody got any solution!! they either replaced ps3 or disappeared... http://www.indianvideogamer.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33154 http://www.indianvideogamer.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=42691&hl=hdmi http://www.indianvideogamer.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40514&hl=hdmi http://www.indianvideogamer.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=39165&hl=hdmi http://www.indianvideogamer.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38475&hl=hdmi I really feel like breaking my PS3, its been two weeks and I got no solution whtsoevr Pls help guys...

Solid Praky Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Try the following thing: disconnect ps3 and monitor turn on ps3 and monitor separately when both are running, connect the cable see if it works your friend? Tried, screen momentorily changed to black and again to no signal... i dont think the prob to be in ps3 hdmi port, coz if i connect AV, i cud see it did detect hdmi... My monitor has DVI & VGA ports. I ve bn trying on hdmi to dvi with 3 different cables...on one cable screen turn black, other 2- no signal. btw all 3 r new ones bought frm ebay!! Is ps3 HDMI to VGA possible?

Solid Praky Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Now it makes perfect sense why those faced similar issue have disappeared from IVG!!! They cudnt afford to replace either TV or PS3, so they probably left gaming!!! I think I would be joining them soon... or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid Praky Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Thanks for the ppl who spared their time to reply. I feel IVG now is more of a Sale/Trade place rather than what it meant to be before, gamers for the gamers. Anyways, I seemed to solve it on my own, I wud like to explain what I did. For HDMI to DVI, there are 2 issues that arise, (I assume the ps3 works well with other HDTVs) 1. Black screen - in this case the cable is at fault. Faulty cable here means It will work with all other damn things in the world except ps3!!! 2. No Signal Screen - in this case the signal from HDMI port of ps3 to DVI port of monitor seems to die in between. 3 things can be at fault in this. Monitor's DVI port, Adapters used in between or the cable. Solution: For both the problems above, the cable needs to be changed. And the most important thing is GET A HDMI TO DVI "CABLE" (One end HDMI and another end DVI). It should be a single cable without any connections or adapters in between. Do not go for "HDMI cable + DVI converter" or "DVI cable + HDMI Converter". Especially if u r facing Problem No:2 But if this 'cable' solution doesnt solve the issue, the best thing is to get the following, 1. http://www.ebay.in/itm/261132860719?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 (DVI-I Dual Link female to HDMI Male Adapter Converter Coupler 24 + 5 pin) 2. http://www.ebay.in/itm/161193762632?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 (24+1 PINS DVI-D DUAL LINK TO HDMI FEMALE CONNECTOR) 3. A HDMI Cable (HDMI at both ends) 4. A DVI cable (DVI at both ends) then just play with all the permutations and combinations of these 4 things. Till u get a display. Thanks.
