    Hi all, when i plug in my PS3 a screen comes up with "An available HDMI cable was dectected. Do you want to output video and audio using HDMI?"

    The options are "yes" and "no" but neither the controller or the remote can toggle between or select either one. When i press the PS button it just directs me to another screen where i can only either turn off the console return to the original screen...!!

    Any solutions or suggestions people???

    Why?

    OP, with your controller connected to the PS3 with the USB cable, turn on the PS3 with the PS button.
    Maybe the controller just needs to be paired with the console.

    i thought the issue was with him not being able to select the options but he can press back implying that the controller worked

    Ah, I mis-read his post.
    I still wouldn't go rebuilding databases as a first option.
