    hi,

    my brother wanted to play gt6 on his monitor(which has hdcp), so i connected my brothers super-slim ps3 to his monitor using a hdmi-dvi cable,
    which i now found out was broken and fried the hdmi port of his super-slim ps3. is there anything i could do? :/ i think there are some fuses burnt i guess?

    What makes you think fuses burnt out?

    Does it still output video using the other connector?

    Try resetting the video mode if you havent. Hold down the power button until it beeps.

    video/audio still comes out of the av-output.
    i also tried this on my tv and his tv: reset the ps3 to use component audio/video output through av-output, at the same time hook up the hdmi cable too.
    when i turn on the ps3, it will ask if i want to change to hdmi and if i press yes and switch the tv to hdmi it say's no signal on his tv, but on my tv recognises that the ps3 is connected(hdmi-cec) but still no signal.

    Doubt it's the port, but the video encoder

    No usually there are no fuses on video connectors. Resistors could be fried I suppose but don't confuse them with being fuses.

    yeah my bad.
    the only thing i could find on the super slim were the 2 8pin parts near the hdmi port that seem to match the pins of the hdmi chip of older ps3 consoles were the resistors are.
    are these the resistors? i markd them in red circle's.

    Looks like a resistor array

    they seem to be really hard to replace, very small.
