I have my PS3 which connected it to my Samsung TV via HDMI cable that came with it. Everything worked fine for a couple of months until recently I started getting a message on the TV saying "Mode not Supported".
At first I didn't understand what was the cause of this issue but then I just turned the PS3 off along with the TV and after a minute of 2, I turned it back on and everything worked fine. That message came on its own, sometimes when turning on the PS3, and sometimes randomly during game-play the screen would flash and give the dreaded "Mode Not supported" message and after a minute or two, it would flash again and show the game back again without me doing anything besides waiting.
The issue started to increase and within a day or two, the message doesn't seem to go away at all now and I am unable to turn on my PS3. It just constantly says "Mode not supported" with a black screen (no sound also).
I have been facing this issue for quite some time now. How can I fix this?

Reset the video output
Start with your PS3 turned off. With the PS3 off (showing a solid Red light) if you hold the power button down until you hear two beeps it will force the PS3 to forget any saved video output settings and boot up at a lower resolution. It will then take you through the Optimal Resolution set up.
Replace the HDMI cable
If the above doesn't work, it may be necessary to replace the HDMI cable.
