Ok, so this happens about every month or so, but sometimes when I turn my PS3 on it makes its start up beep, and then it makes another beep, and it shows a screen saying "A HDMI device was detected, would you like to dispaly using HDMI?" Now, I was under the assumption that I was already displaying through HDMI. This basicaly means all my dispaly stuff was reseted and I have to now go back and change the PS3 to 720P output and go back and put my wallpaper background back on. This is very annoying and i dont know why it keeps doing this. Is it a HDD problem? is my PS3 bugged?
That is weird. I've never heard of that. Do you have some other cable attached to the PS3? Maybe if you have a component cable attached it will automatically use that?
We havent had a power outage in like 2 years. And I dont even think my PS3 was on when that happened. My 360 was though because I remember playing Fallout 3 when it happened.
and no raven I dont have a component cable hooked to it at all. I only have my HDMi, Ethernet cable, and the power cord hooked to it.
It sounds like it's more of an issue with your TV or HDMI cable. The PS3 is known for having occasional quirky bugs with certain configurations. My Westinghouse TV will always flicker once after about 30 seconds of having the PS3 turned on.
You may want to look into a firware update for your TV, or simply just try another cable for a while and see if the problem persists.
