Component video cable problem

hello everyone I just got a new component video cable and tried connecting it from my 9000es to my sharp xv-s55u projector(LCD) and for some reason it doesn't seem to work, wtf?? I previously used s-video with out any issues at all and now going to component video I get NO picture. I checked to make sure the cables were connected to the correct inputs/outputs. What happens is the component video input on the projector is input 3, the input I used previously was input 1, so when going from input 1 to 3 I get a quick scrambled picture(what should be showing, sort of) and then to a blue screen, for those familiar with the 9000es has a screen saver so to speak and you should NEVER see a blue screen when the player is connected to a video source, I checked also to make sure the 9000es didn't have the video off clicked, it wasn't the problem. If I wasn't balding already I would be pulling my hair out!!! Any thoughts?(and no rogaine ain't the solution) is it possible these two units are not compatible to use component video?? I also played with the selectable/interlace/progressive scan button on the rear of the 9000es and still nothin. Thanks for any input(no pun intendid) ~Tim

Component video is the RCA type with multiple connections. Check the color code and be sure the plugs are in the right place. It is also possible the wires are marked in error.

As a test, using only one of the plugs at a time, go from component out of the 9000 to component input on the TV. Each wire should pass the signal and deliver a good picture. If one cannot, it has a problem. This will also verify the color is marked the same at both ends of the run.

If all this checks out, it may be time to call the manufacturer.
