Ah SH!T! Anyone w/ a PS3 (or knowlege of electronics), please help

[Atomini]

Hey guys, last night I brought my PS3 over to a buddy's place and hooked it up to his LCD TV with an HDMI cable. I had to go into the display settings on the PS3 to switch the setting to HDMI, of course.

But when I went home I forgot to switch the display settings on the PS3 back to the standard red, white, yellow cable setup. I hooked my PS3 back up to my standard CRT TV this morning and the PS3 is still stuck in HDMI mode, so its not transmitting any signals to the R/W/Y (Red/White/Yellow) cable because I forgot to switch the settings back.

I don't have an HDMI cable here (I used my friend's last night). I tried looking through the PS3 manual but couldnt find anything on this. Anyone know what to do?

Male a trip back to your buddys would be the easy fix

Damnit, i'd have to drive out half an hour just to get my PS3 running again? lol

I want to play my new copy of Assassins Creed II damnit!

I do have an HDTV here so the other option is to just buy an HDMI cable myself and hook it up to the TV downstairs...

But there has to be an easier way of getting it running.

LOL NEVERMIND!!!!

I just fixed it. All I had to do was hold down the power button for 7 seconds and the PS3 reverts to its original settings.

Fvck. I feel stupid.

Haha I would have been just as confused and prolly never figures out the reset thing. Or I would have figures it out right after I made the 30 minute trip.

lol hey is true tho...everyone told me b4 i had the ps3 to dont even bother if i dont have a 1080p flat screen and hdmi cable..

[Atomini]

Yeah you're right. Nothing compares. It's so hard to go back to a CRT after going 1080p on a 52 inch. Assassins Creed II looks incredible on 1080p.
