I was playing fine with my ps3 then it stopped giving me image, had to turn it off, switched the hdmi cables, ports, nothing. I ended up trying an AV cable and it booted just fine, then i tried to switch to hdmi again and this is what i get. i took the console to a repair shop because this is beyond my knowledge and they told me it's either the hdmi encoder OR the gpu is dying. Thing is, if i pay to replace the encoder and it's the rsx i'd just have wasted money for a nice paperweight. So i want a second opinion on this.
