PS3 hum

[SonsOfLiberty]

Easy enough to test, disconnect the cable line from your TV.


edit: On a side note I recommend everyone buys one of these and tests if their receptacles are grounded. It is fairly important and you don't want to find out if it's grounded the hard way.

Do as you wish.

It would be easier just to call Sony and get a new one If it is truly defective I would get a new one...My Xbox360 sound like a freakin' jumbo jet taking off from Laguardia. It's insanely loud sometimes... But if you want to be safe and have had it for less than a year, Sony is obligated to fix/alleviate the problem. Their failure rate is about 5% so it could very well be defective and only a matter of time before it goes. I'm on my 3rd Xbox360, well it's the 3rd generation and has held up well to over 1,000 hours of game play so far, it will only get worse for my system once Mass Effect 2, RE5, BioShcok 2, and the rest of the Fallout 3 DLC's get released. If you want to be safe, I would exchange it before the year warranty is up Screw the work a rounds, get a "legit" PS3 that doesn't make the hum

read the thread don't just go by the thread title.
He's not complaining about noise.

Yeah, yeah, I read it, still sound defective...no PS3 should sound like a damn jumbo jet taking off. My cousin has one and I can't even here it, well it might have something to do with the towering 50 odd inch HDTV But, no, PS3 are not supposed be loud.

I'm sure it did.
After 20 beers the hum and horizontal lines didn't bother him.

I finally got around to putting the three prong power plug back in , no hum . I feel safer now . Nice picture with the HDMI connection tho , I'm very happy with it and my new LCD and Pioneer surround sound .


Life don't get much better than this .

Glad to hear all is well. What surround sound system do you have?

Nothing special Detale , it was a package system from BestBuy . Toshiba 40 " LCD and Pioneer 5.1 . It was under a grand , thought I did well . Just got to convince the wife we need a HD box now .
