Try completely removing all power to reset it, then try to boot it up.

Doesnt expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected and therefore mean youre expecting the expected which was the unexpected until you expected it?

Hmm, well I'm just shooting the breeze here but my thought is that it is trying to load linux when you boot it up but linux is damaged. However, I would think resetting it would make it boot to the XMB. Sorry but I really have no idea whats going on.

im good now.... thank you so much for your help .... i was so desperated that i couldnt think... First i turned the system off, and then i held the power button for 5 seconds or so ... then the systen returned for game os... my mistake was that i was holding the power button after turning the system on, but i was supposed to do that from the time that i turned the system on, i mean, i was supposed to keep my finger in that button since the first time, you know from the very benning

I couldnt really understand that. So what you did was just reset it so it boots the XMB instead of the "other os"?

ok, let me try to explain it... the right thing to do : 1st, turn off the systen ; 2nd, hold the turn on button until the time of the game os boot. what i did wrong: 1st ok... 2nd, ive just turned on, couple of seconds after that, i went back to the turn on button and pressed(hold) it for 5 secs, i heard 1 bip than for more 10 secs the systen was turned off. did you get what was my mistake ?

Ok, I get it. So all you did was reset it to load into the XMB. Well thats nice to hear you got it working.
