Hi,

I have a projector set up in my room which i connect my laptop to for watching movies and playing games. It only has VGA input which is grand for my laptop. However i am unable to connect up either my PS3 or my raspberry pi, So I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these adapters. I have researched and found that if the adapter draws too much power when using with a raspberry pi, it can short out the diode and fry the hdmi connection. I was wondering if this would be the same for the PS3 or is it just because the pi is small and runs on such little power?

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest getting a powered adapter

Check out the setup on Raspberry Pi forums.
You need to edit the config.txt parameters from a boot partition.
