Video i took on my phone of whats happening. When ever a game starts, i turn my ps3 off, or leave a game and go to the ps3 menu my screen has a flash of static on the screen. Does this happen to anyone else? i have a ps3 slim and i did exchange the hdmi cable i purchased for another one and that didnt help.

One thing most people don't know about HDMI cables is that they are pretty sensitive.
Make sure both ends are in nice and snug.If that doesn't work,disconnect both ends and
blow some air into each end.Also try blowing some air into the input on the PS3 and your TV input.
If that still doesn't work and you've tried a new cable,I'm afraid I don't have an answer.Hope this helps.

thanks, all replies are appreciated. Ill try this out, if anyone else can help please do.

did you purchase a monoprice cable? You might have to blow out for hdmi ports like nintendo cartridges. I had to do that when my cable acted up. I recommend monoprice cables.

I get something similarbut when the PS switches video modes for a DVD or somethig, the whole screen goes snowy for 1 second max.
I never quit a game that way it takes too long, I always hold the PS button ubtik thw black screen shows.

Mines also does this, the only solution I have is get the 720p max componet hd cables, orlike I do just keep plugging it in as much as possible, but I sent my system to sony they said it's nothing wrong with it. smh.

Mine does it once in a while when I start a game. I am using a 35ft hdmi cable though. You could try replacing it to see what happens. I would recommend a cable from monoprice or a cheap one from Amazon. Dont be suckered into the expensive one. It's all 1's and 0's.

edit: that seems like a small hdmi handshake issue. the device (ps3) takes a little time to communicate the resolution to your tv. This only happens temporarily when you launch a game or exit a game right?

[andyxpwnz]

Yeah, exactly when ever I launch of exit a game it does it for like a second

[Jammy41]

Quite a common thing apparently. It does seem like the handshake problem but on a minor scale. I'd recommend cleaning/replugging the cable.

Also I have read conclusive evidence that cheap and expensive HDMI cables perform the same.

Very common. It is more obvious on some tvs over others aswell.
Some tvs show stactic,
some flash a brief blue screen and on others it isn't noticeable because the screen just goes black then switches over.

faulty cable

On my current hdtv, the screen goes blank for a small little while when i insert a game/blu-ray/dvd and hit play. On the older samsung, iirc, there was a momentary small blue flashing screen upon launching a disc/exiting a disc. I don't think that can be considered a malfunction. A malfunction wud be if you were getting flashes wen the game/movie was playing.
