Sounds like a bad cable?

but the strange thing is that it only does it when you first turn the system on, and in the menu. once you play a game, it works just fine. leave the game and go back to the menu, and it starts flashing again.

During the PS1 days I worked at a video game store (I know, long time ago) systems did crap like that all the time and 90% of the time it was a bum cable. Maybe even try a different slot on your TV. Good luck.

I had that problem. Really f**ed my system badly.

Like yours it happened in while I was in the main menu but once you put the game on and start everything would go back to normal but I decided I had enough of that stuff and unplugged everything to try it on the Living room tv. That's when everything went sour for me.

After that I just got a black screen and couldn't see a thing. I had to send my PS3 to the Sony people to get it fixed.

I would be carefull if I were you unplugging your PS3.

Since I don't want to make a thread. Anyone know a good site to download MP3's to my ps3 straight from the browser?

Did you reset your box after you switched TV's?

Did you reset your box after you switched TV's?

Yeah really! I called Sony and they told me to hold the power button down for 5 seconds until it beeps three times at which time the system will reset back to the default settings. Although I must say the more times I do it, the harder it is to get it to switch back to the default settings.

Yup.

[fatsack]

I have not had this problem

[Fpoonsie]

Yeah! I had the EXACT same problem. I just ended up tryin a different slot in the back (HDMI1 to HDMI4 (as was already suggested)) and it's currently workin fine.

Yeah I did the 5 second power buttom press and nothing. Didn't reset jack squad because I still had the black screen with wavy while lines on it.
