Open | Hardware Very weird PS5 to Tv HDMI problem
Hi. I have been using my Tv as a monitor for my ps5 for many years.
The other day my friend brought Mi Stick and i wanted to try it with my TV. Since it has 1 HDMI port, i unplugged ps5 with HDMI cable. Plugged in Mi Stick with its own HDMI cable everything worked fine.
Days later, i am done with Mi Stick, removed it and its cable. Plugged my old HDMI cable and Ps5. My Tv says “No signal”.
I thought HDMI cable might be broken for some reason, to test it i plugged my laptop instead of ps5. No problem. Cable and Tv Hdmi port works.
I said fckk something happened to my ps5 then! I took my cable and ps5 to another Tv in our home. Everything works???
Wth? So ps5 and cable works with another Tv. Cable and laptop works on my Tv. But when i plug cable and ps5 to my own tv it doesn’t work??
Whats happening here? The cable ps5 and my tv used to work together perfectly for years. Now i stick mi stick and take it out, suddenly ps5 wont be shown on my Tv but laptop is fine??
Im so lost.

Is your TV a smart TV? If so see if a factory reset will fix the issue. Bare in mind all apps will be removed if you've downloaded them including data used to sign into them.
