When I'm playing on my ps3, I keep getting a black faded line running across the screen from time to time.

Any ideas on what it is and how to fix it?

Hmmm well I highly doubt it's the PS3. More than likely something with the TV, got an old TV to test it on?

nope ...think ill give a sony a call, quite a few people have had the issue when i googled it, so they might have heard about this before.

I think you're right though, probably more to do with the tv than ps3.

Nothing to do with the video output settings on your PS3? I mean, you've checked them etc..?

Yarr ground looping, i get that a lot on car audio problems i'm given to solve, nothing but bother in some cases but sometimes down to poor grounding of products in installations. Worth eliminating

Its the TV. My Uncle got this,and it meant the TV was broken, so he had to buy a £5000 50" Widescreen to fill the gap.

Note: the old TV was a plasma... cost him £8000 lol.
