Ps5 hdmi not working no signal

Quick answer

• Check if the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the PS5 and the TV.
• Ensure your TV is set to the correct HDMI input.
• Try a different HDMI cable to rule out a faulty cable.
• Restart your PS5 and TV to refresh the connection.

Symptoms

When your PS5 is not displaying a signal, you may encounter:

• A black screen on your TV.
• "No Signal" message on your TV.
• Flickering or distorted images.
• The PS5 console appears to be on, but nothing displays on the screen.

Quick checks

Before diving into detailed troubleshooting, perform these quick checks:

1. Confirm that your PS5 is powered on and the power indicator is lit.
2. Verify that the HDMI cable is not damaged or frayed.
3. Ensure your TV is functioning properly by testing it with another device.
4. Check that your TV's firmware is up to date.

Step-by-step fix

1. Reconnect the HDMI cable: Unplug the HDMI cable from both the PS5 and the TV, then reconnect it securely.
2. Change HDMI ports: Plug the HDMI cable into a different HDMI port on your TV. Make sure to switch the input source on your TV accordingly.
3. Try a different HDMI cable: If you have another HDMI cable available, use it to connect your PS5 to the TV. Certified Ultra High Speed HDMI cable (paid link) is a great option if you need a replacement.
4. Boot in Safe Mode: Turn off your PS5 completely. Then, hold the power button until you hear a second beep (about 7 seconds). Connect your controller with a USB cable and press the PS button. Select "Change Video Output" and choose the appropriate resolution.
5. Reset the PS5: If the above steps do not work, consider resetting your PS5 to factory settings. Go to Settings > System > Reset Options > Reset Your Console. Note that this will erase all data, so back up important files first.

If it still doesn't work

If you've followed all the steps and your PS5 still shows no signal, it may be time to consider:

• Testing the PS5 on a different TV to see if the issue persists.
• Contacting PlayStation Support for further assistance.
• Checking if your PS5 requires a repair or service.
