The question and the potential answer are still relevant to someone else with the same problem finding this question today. | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 4:18 | comment | added | user86571 | @Colin This question is over a year old. By now the original poster has likely either found some other solution or given up. | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 4:11 | comment | added | Colin | @RossRidge you may be correct however if the OP is not familiar with the requirement for an actual unit to change the signal type he could be loosely using the term 'converter' to describe the cable itself. I think that it is definitely worth pointing out so the the OP can ascertain weather or not it could be the problem. | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 0:25 | comment | added | user86571 | @Colin The original poster twice described it as a "converted cable", so there's no reason to assume it's not. The "pulsing video but not sustaining it" part suggests a converter as its at least partially working. | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 0:03 | comment | added | Colin | @RossRidge Not necessarily, many of the cables you buy on ebay just have the two connectors wired up and no actual converter. | |
| Feb 10, 2015 at 23:25 | comment | added | user86571 | @Colin The "HDMI to VGA converted cable" presumably includes a converter. | |
| Feb 10, 2015 at 22:22 | comment | added | Colin | Isn't the problem more likely to be that HDMI is a digital signal and VGA is analogue - meaning that without a converter they are not compatible. I am not 100% so only commenting for now. | |

Changed format to question rather than a statement.

| Dec 21, 2013 at 20:08 | comment | added | MBraedley | Best guess is that because your projector doesn't support HDCP - it can't when using a VGA signal, the PS3 decides it can't display a picture. This affected early models as well. | |
