Ps3 Static Flickering

Hey all,

When i start or quit a game, i get a static flickering ranging from 1-2 seconds... i get static audio and static visual...

A mate of mine had this with his PS3... and owns the same HD Plasma as i do... but his PS3 is the AUS 40gb ver. and mines the white JP 40gb ver.

Anywho ive tried researching and a few forums are saying its a handshake issue with the resolution from the PS3 to the TV and its "normal", has happened on multiple brands of TV's... well it sorta pisses me off... i didnt buy a PS3 to get static flickers everytime i want to play a game... back on topic... i thought it could just be my mates PS3 that did it, and he was going to return his PS3, but was then advised to try the standard component cables to see if it happened again... he borrowed my PS2 cables and it worked fine, went back to HDMI and hasnt had the problem since...

Ive removed the HDMI cable from both ends and plugged them back in and its still happening... Havent tried the standard component cables yet, will probably try that tonight...

Another mate has the same PS3 as i have and the same HDMI cable (DSE Brand, 1.5m) and he doesnt have any problems with his. so i dont think its the PS3 or the HDMI cable, and ive read on other forums that this happens on a fair few HD Plasmas like some Samsung and Panasonic models, so i dont think it could be the TV either?

Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone recommend a solution?

This hand shake you refer to is normal when connected through hdmi. it is the ps3 changing your screens resolution to the games optimal setting. If it is not affecting your gameplay i dont see the prob, there is no damage being done and from what ive been told is that isnt much you can do about it.

The problem is the static.

It might not affect the gameplay, but i didnt buy a PS3 to have static visual and sound everytime i want to play a game, or quit a game...

For a nice, smooth looking system, this static problem sure does affect the experience...

Why does it need to change resolution anyway? ive set it to 720p in the main PS3 menu and the TV setting is at 720p, so what is it changing when going into a game?

Also, just out of curiousity, does the Xbox 360 Elite have this problem with HDMI aswell?

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Yes. Probably, given that there is only access from the bottom end of it, go with a drill bit. Don't start too small. 7 or 8mm is probably the right size. You want something that can make a big enough hole to do some damage, but not so bit that it clashes with the steel or binds up and breaks your wrist. A slow speed is probably a good idea too. Once the rubber is destroyed, you then have to get the crush tube off the stud, which will be the whole heat/oil/cutting exercise all over again, but this time with the need to strictly avoid damaging the stud (any further than the corrosion might already have done.

      We replaced the connector just because we could and it was still there, once we swapped the injectors around it stopped. The injectors were something I had thoughts of replacing even before I first started the engine and in hindsight I should have

      Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.

      I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.

      So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
