-- connected first thru the normal cable and tried to change the setting manualy. display goes black but comes back thru the normal cable

Do a cold reboot. Remove the HDMI cable and power cable from both the PS3 and your TV. Wait for two/five minutes and then connect them back and turn on.

Are you sure you have done the video reset properly?

With the PS3 in stand by mode, press and hold the power button for 10 secs.. (until you hear the second beep) this cause the PS3 to reset the display properties back to 480i..Follow the onscreen instructions to set it back up to 1080i

Also make sure you have the correct input settings selected on your TV.

Found out that there is no issue with the console...had taken to croma where HDMI worked fine.

after saving the setting in croma tried at home only to find it still does not work..clueless..
