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?

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By SeanR32GtSt · Posted

      Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?

      Not oem, just bin them.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.

      Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
