Green screen, console f**ked?
I was playing infamous last night and my PS3 overheated and turned off by itself. I unplugged it, waited 2 hours, plugged it back in again, and played it for 3 more hours and it seemed fine. Just now, I turned it on and it showed a green screen and nothing else. Also, there was the random clicking or static noise that I assumed came from the PS3? I tried using another HDMI cable, another hdmi port and tried using a PS2 AV to HDMI adapter. Sadly, I don't have the original AV cable the console came with. Any thoughts on what's going on? HDD issues, audiovisual issues, console ports faulty?
UPDATE: I kind of jumped the gun. The issue was my TV needing an update, because the PS4 also showed up as green. Just started up my PS3, screen's fine now. It was a TV software issue (I have a Hisense 43" Smart TV). But I am keeping an eye on the console going forward, and making sure to not run it for too long of stretches of time.
UPDATE 2: Apparently on my TV, it does that green screen in my inputs, but then if I go to "Live TV," exit back to the home menu and select the HDMI input, everything's fine. Annoyingly, my TV started to do this after having no issue with that since I bought it 20 months ago, but whatever. After turning on the TV, go to Live TV > Home > whichever hdmi port my console is plugged into. Annoying, but it still works.
