Hello,
I recently found a 2004 HLN617W Samsung DLP tv for free (semi flat screen). I noticed at first that it does not have ANY HDMI ports on the back. I went out and bought a component to HDMI converter and the computer worked perfectly! But the PS3 does not work AT ALL. I have done the whole Hold down the power button for 5 seconds but it doesn't work. The Av cables worked fine on the tv so I was able to configure a few different options on the PS3 but nothing worked not HDMI to Component all 480p 720i and 1080i/p checked and then unchecked. My computer stopped working after I changed the resolution which leads me to think if I can change the resolution on the PS3 it might work but any help I can get I will take and hope it works. To sum up I get the Mode Not Supported error while plugging in HDMI cable into converter. The converter plugs component cables into the TV and should work but does not. Thank you
