Friends, I came here to ask for help ...
I have a PS3 Slim and I always played it using my Samsung TV ...
The time passed and I got the ps4 and new and bigger tv (Sony) but at least once a month I connected my PS3 on the same old tv to play ...
It turns out that at the end of last year I decided to download the* netflix app on the PS3 to watch on this TV because it was more comfortable .... I noticed
that the screen started to blink but I thought it was just something wrong with the HDMI cable ...
I removed the cable, put it back again and then the image on the screen was fine ......
Later that night I the problem persisted ... I decided to take the HDMI cable of
the Xbox 360 and tested with it ... Problem solved ... Some weeks later , I was playing Soul Calibur 5, the signal* started to disappear from time to time ... I changed the HDMI cable and nothing ... I decided to change the HDMI port of the
TV and the cable too, and the image returned ....
That was last year, and everything was fine until this week, when the signal disappeared for good ....
So i got more cables to test with it, changed the HDMI port of the TV several times etc ...
But this time nothing happened .... NO SIGNAL for good.
I* then tested the PS3 on another TV (Phillips) with the cable I was using on it ... Nothing ...
I changed the cable on this other TV and behold, it was working again ...
I needed to leave home, so I turned off the TV for a while and left the PS3 on downloading a game ...
When I came back I turned on the TV and everything was okay, but after a while the image started to flash, with drizzles on the screen, something
that had never happened on the other TV ...
I went into the settings and unselected the last option of 1080 (I think* that's1080p) and like magic, the screen went normal.
I played for two hours straight. No problems.
Today, with other cables, I reconnected it on the old TV (SAMSUNG) in which it always was set up and nothing.
*I made the reset by holding the power button with all the cables that I have , changing the HDMI ports on the TV. NO SIGNAL!
I went back to another TV and when I turned it on, I heard the starup sound but no image at all ... As I had reseted the image on the other TV, I
did that too on this TV, then the image appeared, but soon it started to blink, so I went to settings, displasy and unchecked the last option of 1080 and once more I could play it without problems..
PS: I used the Raspberry Pi on* my Samsung TV where the PS3 was set up and it worked without any problems or blinks...
Sorry for the long text but I tried to detail the whole problem to know if
someone has already gone through this and if a solution has been found .
Also, sorry for any mistake, english isn't my main language.

If you start your PS3 you hold the Power Button. 1 Beep while Starting and you wait for the second Beep. After the second Beep you don't press the Button.
After that will the Graphic Setting resetted. Thats a Fix for the Most Graphic Failures.
