Obviously, make sure the tv is set to the correct input. Also, does the red light turn green when you power it on or is it amber or blinking red? Does the controller get assigned if it's attached to the usb port via the charging cable?

At this point, I'd contact sony support or check with sony's forums. It sounds like a video problem, but you never know. It may just be the hard drive. if you are up to it, you could try swapping in a new hard drive and see if it fixes the problem. There are plenty of videos on youtube that show how to do this. It's a quick 5-10 minute job. Sony's web site also show how to swap the drive.

Check out this link to a forum thread I just started. Someone might post answers to both of our problems.
EDIT: I just realized I never posted the link

The EXACT same thing has happened to me. Exact same playstation, exact same problem. It is definitely a hardware problem.

I just sent it in to them for $110. I'll post on here and tell you what they say when it gets back in a week.
