Im anxious to watch star trek season 1 on hd and play my games in hd....

My ps3 isn't putting out hdmi to my lcd wich has hdmi 1080. I read to hold
the power button down when turning on the ps3 on and it will configure
itself for hd. I see my ps3 working and my lcd screen change but no picture
or sound... I know its not my lcd because i hooked up a hd dvd player to it and it
worked fine.

I don't have one, but try this:

Go under Settings>Display Settings>Video Output Settings>HDMI.

I don't know if that will fix it, but it's worth a shot.

This happened to me before. And what I found out is that if your PS3's output resolution does not match your LCD's input, picture and sound won't take effect.

My HD-TV does this occasionally. I just turn the TV off, and on again, and it usually shows the PS3's XMB after that. Make sure to unplug your SCART, too.

So Im trying to put the hdmi to my lcd monitor for the first
time I have never used hdmi on my ps3. I cant conect the
basic componets that came with ps3 to my lcd monitor. So
I memorized how to get to the display settings on the ps3
while conecting it to my monitor through hdmi out and it flashes
black for a second and goes back... Im doing it blind since it isn't
outputting... I know if you turn the ps3 on with the hdmi out connected
is says it found a hdmi compatible device do you want to use it... I blindly
say yes and the screen flashes black like when going through the menu.
If i check my monitor it says its recieving 480p or i I forget. So
you guys think my ps3 is broke? or is there more steps after saying use hdmi
if so please post step by step like click down 3 times or press left since i cant
see what is going on.

Are you using a Samsung TV? I've had trouble with those when connecting HDMI or VGA cables.

Its a asus its hdcp compatible so there should be no problem.
Like I said before my piece of shit 360 will play but not my ps3...
I realy don't like the 360 that much I only got it to play gears
and mass effect (before I got a pc) The main problem I have
with the 360 is its hardware. No Im not rich because I have
a PS3, 360 and new pc... I only made 10-15k last year...
Sad Face =(

So I think I will send my ps3 in to get fixed.... =(
I don't have my receipt but my system hasn't even been
out for a year yet but realy close its the mgs4 backwards
compatible system so I think I will send it in quick.

How can I format my External hdd to fat32 so I can use it to back
up my ps3 info... Realy dumb the new consoles are stuck with
only fat 32...
