I need some help fixing my PS3. This just started happening today and had been running fine since I bought it. The display is showing as being green with some slight bands of red running horizontally. There is a slight hum to the picture.

I read up on it possibly being a grounding problem, but I'm not sure if that is the issue I am having. I have two surge protectors in the room. One has all my computer stuff in it, which I have turned off to test. The other has my TV, satellite receiver, PS3 and DVD/stereo in it. I have unplugged everything except the tv and still have the problem. I tried unscrewing the coax cable input I have going into my stereo and that did not fix the problem either.

I am using composite inputs (I tried the standard yellow, red, white cable and had the same problem)

Thanks for any help

I just tried it on a different tv in my house and it now works OK there.

So it's looking like it might be a grounding problem, what could have caused this when I didn't change enything?

What time of connections are you using to attach your system to your TV?

I am using a component connector. I tried using the default connector that came with the PS3 (yellow, red and white) and the same thing happened.
