No Image / Black Screen on PS5 | Reset the Video Resolution

If your PlayStation 5 all of a sudden is not showing any image or just a black screen displaying "No Signal", "No Input" or similar message this might be for a number of reasons.
Most commonly this happens when you move the console from one screen or TV to another. Where the new screen might not support the resolution from the old monitor, that the PS5 is still outputting. Resulting in no image shown at all.
Luckily there is a way to reset the video resolution using the Safe Mode of the PS5 and then change it to something that your TV can handle. This approach can also help even if you haven´t switched out the TV your console is connected to.
I have also included a few other things to try if resetting the video resolution does not work. Hopefully one of them does the trick. These procedures works with both the normal (disc) PlayStation 5 as well as the PS5 Digital Edition.
Please though share any thoughts or questions in the comments below and I'll do my best to help!

💻 Laptop ► MacBook Air M1 13" (2020)
It´s old. But it is still the best laptop you can buy if you want an affordable, fast, portable and completely silent (no fans) computer with a fantastic screen, keyboard and trackpad. Sorry Windows.

I can’t even get the safe menu to pop up and I’m on a brand new tv

[@GetThereFaster]

Hi! Could be something off with the connection to the TV, worth testing with a new HDMI-cable and also test another screen or monitor if you have the option to. Has the console been working fine before? // Chris

[@reganbrown2122]

@@GetThereFaster I tried on two different not even a year old tv’s and it didn’t work then I took it to and old tv and it worked then I heard you say get a new hdmi in the video so I did that today and it still doesn’t work not sure what’s going on the newer tv’s

[@GetThereFaster]

@@reganbrown2122 That is so odd! Especially since it´s working with the older TV. Have you been able to try any other consoles or TV-boxes etc. with the newer TV:s and are those showing an image like they should? Sounds though like the issue is with something in the TV:s if the console is indeed working on another TV. Also worth going through all the picture and input settings (as well as brightness, backlight and contrast settings on the TV, to make sure those have not been lowered to zero somehow). // Chris

[@reganbrown2122]

@@GetThereFaster I tired all sorts of screens but I went and checked the screen setting and saw a bunch of it was turned off I think it was because the old tv didn’t work with those things but I can’t turn them back on unless I’m on a tv that expects it with it won’t show picture on those tv’s lol but thank you for all the information

[@GetThereFaster]

@@reganbrown2122 Hm, understand. Wish I had some more ideas here. However when most things are set to automatic in the video settings on the PS5 the new TV _should_ pick up the console that should then adjust it´s own settings to match what the TV is able to display. However unfortunately this is not always really the case :-/ Hope you´re able to sort it out somehow though! // Chris
