I just got home for the weekend, and my TV says my PS3 has no signal. I haven't even touched anything for a week. Any advice?

Try fully resetting the system

After that check cables (hdmi).

I have tried resetting the system and I got nothing. I checked the HDMI cables as well. I even put my PS3 in safe mode but nothing is on my screen at all. Now I can't turn off my PS3 with the power button because it's in safe mode (don't know if its fine to just turn it off from the back).

I didn't even touch it for a week, so I have no clue what's wrong.

Nope. I literally have not touched my PS3 for a week because I go to University in a different city and I come home for the weekend. It's the exact same cables, and the exact same setup. I tried to turn it on when I got home, and my TV just said no signal. There is still no signal, but my PS3 is powered on (probably still in safe mode).

Could there be something wrong with my HDMI cable? 

I talked to a Samsung representative and I asked him how to restart my TV.  He said that a more likely problem would be that the PS3 changed settings and is not on HD.  I have my PS3 connected right now to the composite cables and it's working, but I'm trying to set it back to HDMI.  I plugged in the HDMI cable, and went to video output settings and clicked on HDMI.  When I do, however, the screen goes blank for 30s and comes back to SD with the composite cables.  

This is so annoying.  I didn't even touch anything, and it just fucked up on its own.  Thanks for the advice so far guys.

And if there is anything wrong with the HDMI, does anyone have any suggestions for some cheap ones?

Get the amazon swivel head hdmi. I got them and they are great. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006FL2VXM/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=136217573...

monoprice.com has the cheapest cables. Also I found this thread that might have some solutions to your problem.

Thanks for the suggestion Izzy, but I found one on amazon.ca that seems pretty good. The other one that you sent me doesn't ship to Canada, unfortunately.

And thanks Josh, I'll check this thread out right now. All the help is appreciated guys.

Worst case, there is a problem with you PS3 HDMI output. Then youd have to change to component cables for HD

The next generation

Hello wielders of the axe,

Many, many people have opinions on the next generation of consoles, gaming and what appears to be a new breed of multimedia devices. As a consumer and with an avid interest in technology I hope I have a unique look at what has been presented as the future of what we all love,…

Today I 'ave been mostly rememberin': Great Gaming Gaffs

Hello fellow Axeheads! As the great AVGN would say; "What a shitload of fuck!" I am, of course, referring to the Xbox One. Everyone has been frothing at the mouth and having seizures over the calamitous reveal.

Dear Microsoft

Hi Microsoft its me, the little guy who's been buying your consoles for the last ten years. Just wanted to let you now how excited I was by your new console reveal. Sure I would have liked to see more games (maybe even one being played) but I get why you didn't go that route. The reveal was a focus on the system itself right and you wanted to keep it relevant to actual specs and functionality, like when you announced a Halo TV show. Things like that were why people tuned in and I'm sure its…
