Default PS3 HD problems

Reconnected my ps3 up to my LG full HD tv today and cant seem to get it back into HD mode. Ive got the PS3 connected via a HMDI lead but it wont give me the full 1080 resolution and when I try and reset it it comes up with an "invalid format" message on the screen before going back to the original one. I dont think its the lead as I wouldnt get a picture at all and ive gone through all the options on the Tv and cant see anything that I can have changed. Ive also done a settings reset on the TV and console.

Ive just tried the HDMI lead in different ports and in number 2 out of 3 it says it has no signal.

Also when I go into my video output settings menu 576p is selected and cant be unticked whilst the others, 720p, 1080i and 1080p can be but invalid format will be shown when testing it.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this as the graphics are worse than a ps2 at the moment

Switch the PS3 off. Then press and hold down the power button on the PS3 untill it beeps twice and release. It will set the PS3 to default settings so you just go through setting it up

Just set up my PS3 on my mums other TV and it went to full res straight away so mines obviously fucked

Dont really use it that much and its broken already, will have to put up with a shitty little 14 inch old style TV while they sort it out.
