Can't connect??

What muppet do you take me for?
There's nothing to grab. Its totally snapped off.

[mdhay]

Not a muppet at all. That's a bad situation, don't know what you could do about that one, is there no way you could shake it loose?

[mic-dk]

You obviously just plug your new HDMI cable into one of the other HDMI ports in your TV

Seriously, that sucks OBH!

Just a quick note, the second breach was on the Sony Online Entertainment service, a separate entity to the PSN

Well yeah, but it doesn't make it any less ballsy when they already have like 7 agencies working to catch whoever hacked the PSN.

I also heard that of the 77million users that about 10million CC's were leaked maybe from the PSN attack. So even though they're not completely admitting to it, there's about a 1 in 7 chance that a PSN users CC was stolen.

I thought some online functionality would be returned today... I've been waiting...

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I think that the May 3rd date was just a rumour that spiralled a bit out of control and people started taking it seriously. Personally I won't be surprised if it's not up by this week at all. Sony may have to contend with a lot more problems, not to mention extensive testing of the new servers to ensure that they can meet their requirements.

I've been patient for 2 weeks, now its startin to become a bit of an annoyance...

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I can definitely sympathise with you there Greeny - it sure is becoming an increasing nuisance as the days go on.

OBH - If you need a new HDMI Cable, don't bother with those expensice "premium" ones. I got mine for £7 from ASDA and it does the job perfectly.

i just want it to be online so i can change my password and things

[Darkdrium777]

I'd rather they wait for a week-end to turn it back on. Sure it would put more strain on the server but considering we talk about security, more people would be able to change their passwords on a week-end than say... Wednesday at 1 PM...

GREAT! While trying to move the ps3 into the other room seeing as psns down, i somehow snapped the hdmi cable and now the connector is stuck in the tv.

just to add insult to injury there.

Turn off the TV and un plug it from the wall, let it sit for a few minutes, then get a pair of needle nosed pliers and remove the plug that way.
If you leave the broken plug in the set there is a possibility that you will short out your TV at worse, or scramble the inputs selection at least.

It must of been a extremely cheap and dodgy HDMI cable for that to happen, or your on steroids.

...Just how?!
must have been a really cheap cable for it to snap the cord, those cords can get pretty thick and can be impossible to break on a good connector

Unless there were strength boosting drugs involved...

Clearly there was a miscommunication with Seal 6 and they got your bruvva haydemy'n.

Sorry. That was just stupid. Very frustrated here with lack of psn.

[OBH]
