call sony... could be firmware crash or glitch while updating... not sure but if your rom is bad then nothing but reflashing can bring it back to life...

send it to sony while in warranty as you may end up facing payment with further troubles :)

Ayame, i live for you xxx even though the sight may fade the feelings shall always remain

Ayame, i owe you my life but thats all i have to give to you as you already have my love and my heart

You need a new lens assembly. Common problem with PS3, a little more research and you would of found it. Anyways about $70-100 shipped all over the net and ebay, very easy to install if your good at tinkering with things or call sony if you didn't peel off the warranty sticker. They will send you a box and replace it for free if you have proof of purchase and it is within the 1 year warranty period. If not they want $150 to do it.
