Ps3 – My PS3 wont connect to the T.V. or the controller

ps3technical-issues

Last night my PS3 was working fine, and now it won't connect with the controller or the HDMI port, but it turns on. When I turn it on, I have to hold the power button just for it to turn off.

Also yesterday while my Mom was watching Netflix on my PS3 my little brother came and tugged on the chord that was plugged into the PS3 and it fell on to the ground sideways, I think that could just be the problem but just in case I'm wrong and there is something wrong with it, do you guys think you guys can tell me what's wrong with it?

Unplug all of the cables and plug them back in again. If there is still no action, plug the controller into the PS3 using its USB adapter.

If the playstation makes more than 1 beep when you turn it on, that means there is an issue.

If it does 3 beeps with a flashing red light and then turns off again, that means that it thinks it's overheating. Which means that the bump might have shifted something inside the machine.

If it simply turns on with a green light as normal, I'd say it's definitely an issue with the connections .

make sure the TV is on the correct channel, make sure the controller has power by plugging it in, make sure all cables are plugged in to the TV and the PlayStation firmly by replacing them.
