I’m having a bizarre problem with my ps3. We bought a new tv and hooked it up with the hdmi cable and everything was fine. Then we connected the ps3 to the Internet and all of a sudden the screen starts blinking on and off. Normally I’d just blame the hdmi cable but the problem only occurs when the ps3 is connected to the Internet. What could possibly be the problem?
I have a ps3 and I’ve never experienced this problem. It might be helpful if you check all your cables, and attempt to connect to the internet via an alternate route (wifi/ethernet physical connection/different router/etc).
Sorry. mistake in OP - not HDMI, a component AV cable with five plugs.
We just tried the standard cable (that comes with the PS3) and the screen blinking has stopped.
I really don’t understand why the internet connection makes it blink with the other cable. We’ve disconnected and reconnected and done the standard stuff. No joy.
There’s nothing wrong with the internet. It must be the cable, but the whole thing baffles me.
