PS3 Problem

This is a good video that illustrates the problems I have with my Playstation.
The good news is that the console can be made to work.

The first issue I started having was as such:
When the console was powered back on, I would get a blank screen with the message from my Samsung TV reading "No signal."

Now I get the same problem, intermittently, when I "Quit Game" in an attempt to return to the Cross Media Bar.

I don't understand it.

EDIT/ADDITION - December 30, 2009::
After dealing with this issue for a while, I've come to the conclusion/decision that it's an HDCP issue rooted from the TV. From all my reading it just seems to make sense. Especially considering the fact that the band-aide fix of resetting the output to NON-HD resolution can get it working again.

Update, early 2012: My PlayStation ended up dying a couple months ago. It suddenly shut down while playing a game. It only blinked red when trying to turn it back on. I paid the service fee and Sony replaced it. Because of the large amount of time between the beginning of this strange behavior (in the video)... and the eventual death of the console, I cannot say for sure if they are related. HOWEVER, I can say that I no longer have any issues at all.

CHECK YOUR CABLES VERY GOOD,

Ya the cables are fine. It's easy to tell when an HDMI connector is in all the way. I've changed ports on the TV. It seems to be an issue with the console. I simply cannot figure out if it's hardware or software (a setting somewhere).

Same here, I sold my PS3 :-)

I tried hooking up a PS3 from my friend who stayed for couple days at my place and that one worked. I came to the conclusion it was my PS3...

Anyhow, the TV is hooked up on a vhs-, dvd, bluerayplayer and my htpc.
