I turned on my playstation but the screen stayed back.

turn your playstation off so the light is red, then hold the power button for 6-7 seconds til it beeps twice, and u should be good,

This is a problem with the Playstation 3 software becoming corrupt. It is very easy to fix if you follow my simple steps.

Please note, using option 5 will erase your hard drive so any save games you had will be lost. All your on-line trophies will be preserved.

Step 1.

Turn your Playstation 3 off into standby mode (red light on)

Step 2.

Press and hold the power button. The Playstation 3 will beep when you first press it, then beep again 5 seconds later and then beep once more and turn off back into standby mode (red light on). You must now release the power button.

Step 3.

Press and hold the power again. The Playstation 3 will beep when you first press it, beep again 5 seconds later then there will be 2 quick beeps together. When you hear these 2 quick beeps release the power button.

Step 4.

Your Playstation 3 will now start up with a screen asking you to connect a controller via USB. Connect your controller and then press the PS button.

Step 5.

A menu will now be displayed on screen. Select option 3 "Restore File System". This will then ask you to confirm that you wish to go ahead with the system restore. Accept whatever the Playstation 3 says.

The Playstation 3 will now go through the system restore process and re-install the system software. Once you have completed the above, the Playstation 3 should restart and spring back to life again. If it does not, do the above but choose option 4. If this does not work do the above again and choose option 5. Option 5 will format your hard drive.

I hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa

Open It Up, And Then Put Oil, In It. Then Close It Up Then Start it, It Worked For Me!

sounds like a classic psp bricking...sort of

while turning on the ps3, you must hold the power button till it beeps. it rests the video settings.

turn off switch on back of ps3 hold down the power switch on front then turn switch on the back on hold the front power switch till you hear 2 beeps then let go

If you are using HDMI, try using a lesser resolution cable and then reset the system by turning the system off with the main power button, then back on. Press and hold the front power button until you hear 3 beeps then the light turns to red again. That should help.

It sounds like a hard drive issue. If your system can't read your hard drive it will stay on the blue Playstation screen. After a few minutes it will say it cant load from the hard drive on the screen. Try putting your hard drive in a different machine and see if it boots up.

bios is mesed up shot now have to flash but thats so hard to get programmer for this
