i havent had these green lines show up in years...

for me the solution was simple.

new cable.

no more matrix

[Substance0001]

swapping my hdmi cable to a different one fixed it for me

try that

[Reaperz1111]

[Substance0001]

[Substance0001]

i ended up changing the hdmi cable and it fixed the problem

no more green lines

Everyone listen.

It's either your GPU (Graphics card)

Motherboard

or your Heat Sink

Once one of these goes, all of them go within time. It's not your Blu-ray, it's not your HDMI cables or your TV, it's not your HDD, it's the PS3. I had the same problem, it was my GPU. I took it to a shop and they repaired for about $40 in under an hour. $150 to Sony just ins't worth it, find a console repair shop, and let them take a look at it. Hope this helps.

remove the power supply in the ps3 and blue ray drive and there are two screws loosen plaque trohe and check if works or tighten the ps3 if ps3 still does not work

(SOLUTION)

I had the same problem with 3 ps3's.They all had Green fuzzy lines so I opened it up,I knew it was the GPU so I thought the hotness and coldness would of loosen the GPU from the main board.I ended up putting pressure where the GPU was located ! it got rid of green lines.So I grabbed a sponge,Wrapped nails around the sponge and two beer bottle caps on top of sponge, placed it where the GPU was located, put the case back on, Tightened the screws and now all 3 ps3's work.Cost me $0

is it the tv or the ps3? i have an old late-mid ninteys; possibley 2000,tv and it works great, but my ps3 got the yellow lines. is it my tv or console???

@Gimmix8 no mate you shut up , i dont see any good suggestions coming from you and to be honest that guy is most likely right.

@Substance0001 i put in scart cable instead of hdmi cause i thought it could be hdmi out that was damaged or something but even with scart cable i get those lines and my system freezes. my guess is that the vid card might be broken.

i have 2 ps3s. the slim is fine, but the fat ps3 gets the same problem. + im using the same cable and same tv so its not the cable. my problem was the heat sink. i got my ps3 fixed from ylod. when i opend it there was no thermal paste on the heat sinks : | that is why
