Sounds like the HDMI port on the loaner TV is no good.
To switch your video settings on the PS3 without being able to see it:
  • Disconnect the HDMI cable
  • Hook up the red/white/yellow cables to PS3 and TV
  • With the PS3 on, press and hold the power button on the front, it will beep once, and then go beepbeepbeep, and then the AV settings on the PS3 should auto-detect the composite cable connection.

Thanx for the response, i tried what you said but i cant get it to beepbeepbeep. everytime i press and hold the power button it just beeps once and eventually shuts off while holding with no beeps

It is with the PS3 off...not on (Off as in on standby, red light)

When it is off, press and hold for a few seconds until it beeps. It resets the video settings.

Just hook it up via HDMI again and try the same technique.

So my bastard puppy decided to eat the piece of the bluetooth headset that wraps around you ear. I have the bluetooth headset that came with socom confrontation. Since I don't know what you would call that piece of it I was hoping you guys could tell me, and possibly where to get a new one.

I did some googling. You aren't the only one that's been looking for one of these. Unfortunately it doesn't seem that you can buy the part by itself.

The only good news is that there are brand new ones on eBay for as low as $35.

I'm sure you could find replacement earpieces on eBay or maybe even a broken one that you can salvage one off.

Really? eBay is supposed to have everything!

I've just looked mid-post at the UK site and I can only find one Sony headset and the bids are already above retail price.

How old are the headsets? Maybe try and pursuade Sony to send you a replacement earpiece... thinking about it you may pay more in call charges than it would cost to buy a new one.

I like the Sony headset but it's not suited for prolonged usage. Maybe if the in-ear part was a cone shape it would help a litle. It's like trying to stick a candle in your ear.

Agreed, especially when both of the ear pad things are lost. feels like i've been stabbed in the ear after about 30 minutes to an hour of usage.

I was going to try and email Sony to see if they could just send me that part of it. For now though I'm just wearing a beanie over my head and pulling it down over my ears and that's holding it in place just fine.
