Might a firmware update save me?

I have a Panasonic TH-50PX80U.

Today I was trying to get it to play ball with a PS3 that has a damaged HDMI port. A different tv would acknowledge input from the PS3 but the Panasonic wouldn't. Eventually, the Panasonic stopped responding to any device input to any of its HDMI ports.

Since the physical damage was only on the PS3 side and since other tvs work with the PS3, is the Panasonic just being "picky" about the quality of the connection?

Might a firmware update fix this pickiness?

Sounds like it's hardware damage, but I would try to reset your TV. Check your manual if there is an easy way in the built in menus, otherwise your service menu will definitely have one. Prior to resetting, unplug everything except the power plug.

Best of luck, but I wouldn't hope too much.
