I bought this game looking at the past success league of Need For Speed games which I used to play on my desktop but in this case, this game turned out to be Rubbish & forget about any refund thereafter, no company intents to refund the money if their game fails to entertain the buyer. 2'400 approx on it (USD $31.59) but it was absolutely boring game, no entertainment at all & I wasted my money. I bought this pathetic game - Need For Speed Rivals by EA Sports to play on my PS3 & I spent Rs. Not interested in PlayStation at all!!!! The fact is that buying a Sony PlayStation even if it is very expensive or over pricey isn't that very much difficult BUT, the games which are to be purchased thereafter are hugely expensive & if that doesn't turn out to be as interesting & entertaining as expected than, its a huge waste of money. Oh! That sounds terrible! No ways of buying any more Sony PlayStation anymore. How to fix this issue than? Will it land into the Sony Service Centre for repairs or any 'Home Remedies' can work out? This is Out of warranty.

What could be the issue? Is it with the HDMI port of the PS3? HDMI cable cannot be the issue as its a working HDMI cable & I tried 2 different HDMI cables in this process but to no avail. I also have a small 32inch LG LCD TV in my bedroom to which I directly connected this PS3 via an HDMI cable. I have now removed it from the soft cardboard to use it & above is the issue that I am facing presently. This is almost 4 years ago after which the PS3 was wrapped. This PS3 used to work last before I wrapped it & kept aside as I didn't have much games to play. The TV screen now switches between 480p and some other resolution (I guess 1080p) which keeps flashing at the top corner BUT, it doesn't show the PS3 welcome screen. On my Yamaha Amplifier remote, I selected the HDMI Input to which PS3 is connected into.

When I turned On the PS3, the green power light appears however, I do not see the boot screen. Another HDMI cable is connected from the HDMI Out of Yamaha amplifier to the HDMI 2 IN of the SONY TV. PS3 is connected to the Yamaha Amplifier in one of the 5 HDMI Inputs via an HDMI cable. I have Sony PS3, Sony 65X8500D 4K HDR TV, Harman Kardon HKTS 9 5.1 Home Theatre & Yamaha Amplifier RX-V685.
