i recently recieved a PS3 from my brother who decided to buy another one after this one quite working for him. After the boot up it goes to the main menu, from there it does not do anything else. not real sure about how PS3 work, Im a XBOX guy but am trying to learn about the PS3's. If anyone could help with this problem then awesome.

Try holding down the power button until you hear a series of beeps, it should give you a menu to restore system settings.

1. Turn off Playstation®3.

2. Hold The power button down; The system will turn on and turn off once again.

3. Once the System has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps

4. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.

5. You will be promted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button

6. The Recovery menu will pop up.

Well after many failed attmepts at the above suggestions I gave up. I took the HD and plugged it into my PC. My motherboard recongnized it, then unplugged it and put it back into the Playstaion. From there it asked if I would like to reformat it. And wala!!! Im really dissapointed in the service that Sony offered on fixing the problem. Thanks Afterdawn.
