Question

Help answer this question below.

I hooked my PS3 up on a friends TV using my hdmi cable. But when I try to hook it back up to my TV, I only get audio to work. I can's see anything because the screen remains black. How do I revert back to normal display if I can't see?

When you turn on your machine, press and hold the power button down until you see something on your TV. Doing this resets the video output of the PS3.

Hope this helps.
