PS3 HDMI issue "Resolution not supported"

PS3 HDMI issue "Resolution not supported" - Unrecognizable ethnic female therapist taking notes on clipboard while filling out form during psychological appointment with anonymous client lying on blurred background

I have my PS3 which connected it to my Samsung TV via HDMI cable that came with it. Everything worked fine for a couple of months until recently I started getting a message on the TV saying "Mode not Supported".

At first I didn't understand what was the cause of this issue but then I just turned the PS3 off along with the TV and after a minute of 2, I turned it back on and everything worked fine. That message came on its own, sometimes when turning on the PS3, and sometimes randomly during game-play the screen would flash and give the dreaded "Mode Not supported" message and after a minute or two, it would flash again and show the game back again without me doing anything besides waiting.

The issue started to increase and within a day or two, the message doesn't seem to go away at all now and I am unable to turn on my PS3. It just constantly says "Mode not supported" with a black screen (no sound also).

I have been facing this issue for quite some time now. How can I fix this?



Best Answer

I just fixed the problem. All you have to do is turn the PS3 off, then when you turn it back on, you hold the power button for five seconds. The ps3 will autodetect the right resolution for the tv you're using.
