PS2 TO HDMI Black Screen Error Fix! 2020! Easy Fix!

[@leeroberts9385]

Your genius I’ve been trying to get my ps2 going on my Samsung Cristal UHD 4K 2020 TV for weeks now!! And it Was just the trick I needed. This is officially the first time I’ve ever commented on KZbin. Mate ur a legend!!! Thanks so much

[@juvidisciple]

If it still doesn’t work, that means your TV is too old. I tried everything and my last resort was getting a new TV for those that are frustrated and can’t get this to work. I just saved your life.

[@truenetgmx]

4 years later you are still legend :) it worked, thanks

[@reelapze]

You're a legend, this fixed my issue thanks heaps

[@gugamovies]

An absolute legend. I got stuck since my other search results neglected to explain that there is a difference between EU and USA. So I was going in the wrong direction till I saw this. Thanks for the help!!!

[@ReubenJames1000]

It worked, I can’t believe it! Not all heroes wear capes! Thank you so much 🙏

[@nongthip]

This is exactly the kind of "blind" walkthrough needed to make this PS2 To HDMI dongle actually work when you don't have any AV (RGB) ports. Since you can't "see" the PS2 you need to first remove any disc from the console so it boots up in browser mode and then know exactly how many ↓←→↑'s combined with X's to change the console's video output from RGB to composite ("Y Cb /Pb Cr/Pr"). Thanks! Very helpful.

[@ralf2oo2]

These two video's were released right after ordering a ps2 hdmi adapter. Very coincidental

[@faridmiah77]

Mate salute to you! I changed the output to RGB and i instantly regretted it as the screen went black..... Thanks a mill

[@xanderking7584]

Great video, was lost with my blackscreen until I watched this video. Very informative and straight forward! Will definifely be coming back when I have anymore tech problems.

[@williamfitch1408]

Hi James. My problem is that whichever HDMI socket I plug into, I get the 'No Signal' message on the TV. I've checked and rechecked each cable and connection in the setup, and everything works independently. The only thing I can't check is the adapter. Any idea what might be causing the issue?

[@NYQueensHomestead]

Me too.

[@April84012]

Hey, James. Things aren't working out for me with this thing. What model of Sony Bravia do you have? I have a KDL-40EX503. That's the only thing that I can think of, as to why it wouldn't work...

[@00torjus00]

I have been folling around with this for the last 6 f***ing months. I now tried what you did in the first try, and i worked! Thanks alot James ;)

[@ravon1982]

I get a black screen when i change the gsm setting to 720p and i get a black screen with sound, this is with normal wires. will this trick work for me pal.?

[@xRezurexii]

You're an absolute life saver! Man I was slowly but slowly about to lose it. Awesome video subscribed

[@tadjire]

Thanks for guide! It's really helpful Alternative way, if you still have original PS2 cable (RGB), try use it first, then go to settings first and change component cable. After that, without turn off system swap that RGB cable with PS2 Hdmi Converter+Hdmi cable. It works in my case. (for note, make sure you buy good hdmi, cause I try buy cheap one, it's not function)

[@edwinmcarthur975]

Hey just got this and a ps2. Couldn’t find a video anywhere that would help me solve this issue. I appreciate you so much for your help 👍🏻⭐️

[@rolandrosal8641]

Thank you thank you thank you so much !! I thought my brand new Ps2 to hdmi and hdmi is defect .. But when i watch your video tutorial wow ! Its work hahaha im very happy super happy

[@Muunk67]

My ps2 is plugged in and everything but it won’t even connect to the monitor/tv, it just says no signal and then that’s it, if there’s a disc inside it spins and everything, but there’s something wrong with cables or the ps2 itself

[@Roka-]

did you figure it out?

[@Muunk67]

@@Roka- yeah lol, turns out I just bought the wrong one, it was l bought the inverted piece, so I just returned it and bought the right one

[@justinbrandt8415]

Holy shit dude, it worked. You are a saint. Thank you so much, now I get to go play re 2

[@tracksontap1162]

You are a genius!!! Absolute legend!!! Thank you soooooooo much 🙏❤️ At first I had a game inserted into the console so it didn't work but then I realised it would make the button route different so I took out the game, turnt the PS2 off and back on and then tried again and it worked!!! You should put up a paypal or some way we can donate to thank you because it would have costed me some extra money to try and sort this out via other wires etc! Thank you so so much. You've helped me and so many others - I hope blessings come your way in return. ❤️🤞

[@LordFarquaad_II]

Does this work for the red yellow and white cords or just for the hdmi?

[@Techgamer730]

Just for hdmi and component(5 wires) however if u have used ur ps2 with hdmi or component(5 wires) then try this but on the last step push right instead of left or left instead of right

[@Ash-hx1jz]

Thank you!!! I realized I was doing everything right but forgot to plug in the HDMI to PS2 into the front USB port on the PS2. Everything else was plugged in correctly. Thank you thank you!!!

[@wholelottashootinnlootin6596]

Thank youuu!! That’s what I was missing from this hahah

[@sonnykvammen3005]

Omfg thank you for this, NO where else have i found a blind button push guide, can finally play now!

[@lilfortnite1211]

brooooo ty sooo mch was abt to have to buy a cord n w8 for shipping for a week u are awesome ily 🤟

[@mayhem435]

You're the man! Thx so much! You saved my ps2 sunday 😍💪

[@vladimir5136]

My hands from ass brings to PS2 video black failure. You save me, the workaround works. Thanks. Actually, search for BIOS reset but anyway your way is good enough. Thanks again

[@dennisjaime1801]

You sir saved my ps2 slim. I was about to return the ps2 to Hdmi back to my ebay seller.

[@MrBlue092]

Thank you so much I spent 5 hours trying to fix mine your so helpfull hope u keep doing what your doing 😊

[@WarrenHG98]

This actually worked for me. Thank you so much!!!!

[@ed4119]

the adapter has a blue light and its definitely on, but neither of the codes still work ,anyone know whats wrong ?

[@devjock]

This totally worked for me. PAL system. Thanks a bunch mate!

[@SleightofTongue]

Thank you - literally the difference was between pressing left or right for me!

[@samsaverino8159]

My ps2 to hdmi works until k load a game it will show the playstation logo then my tv will say no signal

[@Omniversal.Traveler]

Thanks, USA instructions for me worked like a charm, thanks. Going to give the video a complete, no-skips, watch-through for them analytics.

[@FabB98]

Tech James. Certified G. Thanks for fix.

[@anthonyainsley5463]

Hi this still doesn’t work for me. What can I do?

[@noahskennedy]

Same :(

[@alijordanx8954]

New subscriber you helped me out a lot thanks 💯👍🏾

[@Durranihumayun10]

Hey. On mine, it's a different issue. No display but after clicking on multiple times (like 10 or 15) it will then display but there won't be any sound or sound is out of order. And if I insert any game disc then the game gets hanged and causes loading issues. If there is any question regarding it then please ask. Would be happy for a reply. Thanks.

[@IseliandirLelyan]

This worked for me in Europe, Thx!

[@Lehornet85]

I had it on the wrong HDMI, thumbs up my guy 💯🎮👊

[@salboydk7150]

Thanks a lot for this video. It solved my issue. I was ready to throw the converter out of the window :)

[@Etj2626]

Wow this worked! I thought I had to return my converter thanks a lot!!!

[@marchmadness76]

Thanks for this video! I did have a blank screen when I hooked everything up.

[@haydenever6557]

I tried both solutions but it still doesn't work, my ps2 isn't even displaying on the AV :(((( Let me play my childhood games plz TT

[@jakepieguy3992]

Thank you sir I was about to give up but none the less your help is appriciated

[@notmartin4509]

My hero, was about to break down, time to get all that nostalgia

[@TimelordUK]

I have a problem no one talks about. Turn on PS2 I hear the swoosh sound, I then hear the tone sound but see no visuals until perhaps the last millisecond of the PlayStation 2 logo, then the game loads and all is good. Is it because my TV is only 720p and not 1080 or is it because the PS2 boot up outputs a different rate that my TV isn't fast enough to detect?

[@britishbikermike1997]

I’ve done this and made sure it was all setup correct still doesn’t work for some reason

[@TheMartonMovies]

It worked! Thank you so much for the guidance!!

[@netrom757]

Holy crap dude, thank you so much for this! it wasn't working before so i got worried for a second there.

[@SibbyG]

Got it wrong the first time, but it worked! Legend!

[@elviirakupiainen5047]

This actually worked XD Thank you so much!!! I can finally play again nostalgic PS2 games ❤💕❤

[@SupremeGang420]

Same

[@cifraf]

I absolutely love you, it worked. I absolutely love you, mate

[@theoneandonlylh836]

I put the pressed the buttons that the picture told me to when I Heard- sounds from my tv. Then, when I did everything, my ps2 just stopped connecting to anything and is now making weird noises. Can someone please tell me what is going on?

[@LibbyLumos]

I was so about to have a breakdown thank you so much

[@phazeyphaze]

Thank you so much!! Saved me a return

[@leemooreStudio]

Thanks brotha! You saved me from a major headache. This worked for me. I was worried that some thing else was the problem, like it not being plugged into the 2.0 USB or the PS2 to HDMI was faulty. Time to enjoy some games!

[@angriestjoker]

You’re vid was a god send man, thanks a million 👍🏼

[@dimi7171]

You are a star. Thank you very much. I would almost return the item as I couldn’t get signal.

[@AskYwalker973]

You are legendary my friend. Some ps2 to hdmi are RGB and some are Component so it's a hassle at times.

[@IgorGiganskiANtiatom]

Thanks, it worked like a charm!

[@Trucker_Nozza]

This worked for me too. Took me 2 attempts but worked brilliantly

[@solidvault3698]

thank you for this! finally gonna use my original fat PS2 with a HDD to play games on it!

[@ghanigepe]

can you help me? i change rgb to Y cb/pb cr/pr it works to use hdmi. but when i restart ps2 the always back to rgb. and i cant change date ps2.

[@suziehassan7752]

Inside your PS2 Console the CMOS Battery is dead you will need to replace it, else each time you turn on your console you will have to change the settings and time and date etc

[@marleeeeeeeee]

Oof, I've done all these steps and now it constantly says 'Not Optimum Mode Recommended Mode 1920x1080 60Hz' But I literally can't do a thing...

[@noahskennedy]

I’ve tried it a few times and it hasn’t worked. It says ‘Not Optimum Mode Recommended Mode 1920x1080 60Hz’ If anyone knows a fix please let me know!

[@gradsgames]

Brilliant! That worked, thank you.

[@dat1boikam99]

BROOOOO YOU HELPED ME FIX IT I love you so much

[@arslanrc3594]

Omg you’re a life saver. This is so awesome! Thanks

[@DuaneAJ]

Still cannot get this thing to work maybe I’ve got a faulty one

[@EfazDev]

Also, you need to remove the game disc since it actually just opens the system settings and change the video color output. If you had a game disc in, it won’t work since it would input the buttons into the game instead and may break something.

[@pete6739]

THANK YOU SO MUCH U HAVE MADE LOCKDOWN EVEN BETTER

[@BillyNoMate]

no luck here, following your video, you didn't switch on the PS2 after removing the disc. is this intentional?

[@One-12937]

Hey guys this works, just don’t press it fast. Press it slowly and it will work.

[@Tapzu91]

Worked fine for me! Many thankses!!

[@christianruffin1342]

Hey. So I tried this multiple times on my Vizio flat screen tv and it doesn’t work. It runs fine but I’ve tried this trick multiple times. I’ve tried it with component cables, composite cables, and the HDMI converter and it still doesn’t work. Is it my PS2 or is it my TV?

[@isaksvallhed2642]

Thank you so mutch. It worked for me!!!!

[@ivanramos5999]

This ain’t working, I have sound but no picture I did everything right. I know it’s not the cables because the ps2 works on my friends flat screen but not mine for some reason

[@ImUsuallyWeird]

Then I might be your tv

[@andreikappa1327]

BROOOO UR A LEGEND, THANKXX IT WORKED!!

[@Milty2001]

My ps2 reads discs just fine but the problem is that after the playstation 2 logo pops up nothing happens it just takes me to a black screen any solutions?

[@smgofdvld]

make sure to note the default cables are bad in terms of game compatibility. also some games only seem to work with component cables.

[@adamantios_poniros]

Hi James, we need a video to show as how to play PS1 games via OPL with this PS2 to HDMI adapter. As you may know PS1 games play at 240i and the adapter cannot get this low signal. Somewhere I read about txt that can change the resolution inside the game. Can you investigate it and give us a complete solution? Thank you in advance... keep it up !! Your channel is awesome !!

[@SintekKliniKa]

Hi, I have a PAL PS2 and bought an Hyperkin PS2 to HDMI converter (the one with the switch for the aspect ratio). The first time, I use the composite cable for set up the PS2 on RGB and clearly follow the step by step guide but it doesn't work, only the stable red light when plugged to external power supply (5V-1A). I so tried to make the "blind" modifies (with the no signal screen) changing both the ps2 video aspect settings and the color profile to Y Cr Cb. Made every possible combination but nothing to do, still doesn't work. What can I do? It's my TV fault? I have an Hisense Vidaa H55B7120. Thanks and have a nice day!

[@kacperjung4552]

Thank you, you are my Hero. Greetings from Poland:D

[@rxccoutscxr56]

Couldn’t believe it actually worked !!

[@georgediopido5162]

Which one should I choose? RGB or the other one?

[@niblume]

That part worked! But then whenever I start a game it loses signal..any thoughts?

[@Jay-uu5lu]

So i bought this scph3001 ps2 and it turns and reads games but it doesnt display anything on the tv, i am using an official av cables from my ps2 slim but i havent gotten a signal or even any audio i tried putting the 3 wires onto the component ports but still nothing and i took a look at the av port on the ps2 and it looks intact i tried these steps and i still got nothing

[@owenf2392]

Thank you so much for this. Absolute hero

[@nolimitkil]

The first method didn’t work but the second one did so thx

[@sarcasticheavy4295]

so i got this set up, works fine however PS1 games have a black screen after the ps1 logo? any suggestions on fixing it?

[@13thKrackenHandlerLynn]

Question what can I do if I can still see somewhat but not very well and the colors are off alot and what if my ps2 console is on HDMI1?

[@vnayyar]

can you please advise how do i fix the blurry screen while using the HDMI adaptor? video shows fine but game play is unplayable can't see anything.

[@jagerbopp6196]

Thanks so much I finally fixed it ,this mean everything

[@ezeetoys]

Thanks! It work on my monitor. Also, i set it to 16:9 scale. Some cut scenes stutter, but its tolerable.

[@veronikaveronika3361]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH NOW I CAN PLAY TEKKEN 5 AND TEKKEN 4!!!! 🙃🙃🙃

[@thartley16]

bro i have the AV cable in and it still doesnt display Ive done the code US way, European, way it doesnt display PS2 just sits on displaying black screen. tried 2 different AV cables and 3 different TVs

[@NovaGamez00]

I’ve tried this with both Methods you showed and it’s still not working for me

[@oscaroscar7904]

[@thekingAbeFroman]

You are a champ, bro! Thanks

[@djpainkiller3326]

Thank you worked I thought I was never going ever get to play my PlayStation 2 again for me it got stuck in RGB Display what is I had to do The North American combinations a couple times just to get one to work it was weird I would do them a bunch of times but nothing would happen so I kept doing the combinations repeatedly over and over and finally one actually work I can’t thank you enough thank you
