The first thing you should do is check the HDMI port on your TV. Ensure it’s clean, free of dust, and not damaged. You can try switching to a different HDMI port to see if that resolves the issue. If possible, you can try the HDMI cable with a different device, connecting it securely on both ends, and seeing if it works. This will help determine if the problem lies with the HDMI cable itself. If so, you’ll want a replacement.

If that’s not the issue, confirm that your TV is set to the correct input source. It’s easy to overlook this simple step, but if the TV is on the wrong input, it won’t display anything from the PS5. Use your TV remote to cycle through the inputs until you find the correct one.
Another quick fix is to restart both your PS5 and TV. Power down the devices completely, unplug them for a few minutes, then plug them back in and power them up. This should resolve any temporary glitches affecting the HDMI connection.
Lastly, if you are experiencing screen flickering or blinking, the HDR feature on the PS5 may be conflicting with your display. To turn it off, open the Settings menu on your PS5, and go to Screen and Video > Video Output > HDR.
