In this guide to PS3 troubleshooting you are going to learn how to solve the "no picture" error on your console. If you aren't seeing a picture on your TV screen when trying to play your favorite games or watch Blu-ray movies then keep reading to learn how to fix this. Troubleshooting PS3 no picture errors is not anywhere near as hard as you might think at first.

Quite often the reason behind you having no picture on your PS3 console is rather simple and won't involve much effort to fix. Because of this, when you are repairing PS3 graphic display errors there are a few simple steps you need to follow first, before you try anything more complex. Here's the lowdown on what you need to attempt:

1. Check that your TV has the right input selected. For example you may be on the wrong HDMI input, meaning that even though everything is functioning correctly you cannot see anything because you are effectively on the wrong "channel'. Double check that you have the right one selected for your TV.

2. It may also pay to scroll through all of the options available (usually done by pressing the "AV" button or something similar) to see if you or someone else has accidentally changed a setting. This is often the case if you share a TV with other people.

3. Remove the "AV" cable from your PS3, and then gently blow any dust out of the cable connectors and the cable's associated port. Re-insert the cable then restart your PS3 console to see if this has got rid of the no picture error. Sometimes the cable can come loose if your PS3 is moved or bumped, and no video will be able to display therefore. Also check the connection that goes into the TV itself in this manner too.

Hopefully one of the three PS3 troubleshooting steps above will fix the no picture problem on your console and enable you to get back in the game as quickly as possible.
