Ok i have good news and bad news. The good news is you don't have to send it to sony for 150 bucks, you can fixs it and i will tell you. Ok it could take a few times but all you have to do is hold the turn on button hold it for a few secs remember it will take a few times but it works.Now the bad news it will come up with a few options do restore system, now you will lose all your saves and you will have to sign up for ps3 network again (if you had it) bu i does save you a 150 bucks right. Well i hope this helps it did for me.

K the thick wave appears but no other lights are on besides the main power button(green) Nothing will load from there and the ps3 will not allow you to manually shut it off, you have to turn of the system completely.

My problem is that when I turn my ps3 on it sits there for a couple of mins doing nothing. Then it says sony entertainment, but when that goes away the wavy lines still stay in the backround for ever! I was wondering if some one knew what is going wrong! Thanks!!
