Solved! Why doesent my laptop read my ps3 console through hdmi

Solution
The HDMI port on a laptop is a display output port. It is used to connect the laptop to an external display that has an HDMI input port.

The HDMI port on the PS3 console is a display output port only just like the laptop. You can hook it up to a monitor or TV that has an HDMI input port.
