Garrett H.: With the PS3 off (power light should be red), touch and hold the Power button, you will then hear the 1st beep indicating that the PS3 is powering on.

Continue to hold and after approximately 5 seconds you will hear a 2nd beep, indicating video reset. Continue to hold and after about 5 more seconds you will hear 3rd beep, and system will power off (Power light goes red). Then release power button.
Garrett H.: Let me know when you have held the power button for the 3 beeps and when it is back to the solid red light.
Marque Cross: so going into safe mode
Garrett H.: Yes please.
Marque Cross: did the 3 beeps
Garrett H.: Now, touch and hold the Power button, you will hear the 1st beep, again for PS3 power on.

Continue to hold and after approximately 5 seconds you will hear the 2nd beep for video reset. Continue to hold and after 5 seconds you will hear a quick double beep. At that point release power button.

Bhavesh Prajapat Doomslaying Democratic League 13	Posted - 2013.07.04 19:51:00 - [1] - Quote Found the way to fix this issue Rebuild the PS3 database - 1. hold the power button until it turns off 2. and again 3. and again, this time let go when you hear two consective beeps (beep(on), beep(video hdmi) {pause} beep beep (LET GO NOW)) Rebuild the database. On occasion it may say that software failed to start - just restart once if it doesn't restart after that follow on screen instructions Hope I helped(first), Bhavesh

Answer: It will remove messages received and sent. Any playlists you have set up. If you organize your games/videos/music/photos into albums or as I like to call them GÇ£foldersGÇ¥ you will have to set that up again. Question: Will this delete any game saves or game data on my PS3? Answer: No Question: Will this delete any of my games, photos, music or videos? Answer: No Question: Will this remove or effect my trophies in any way? Answer: No Question: Will this work on any PS3 Console? Answer: Yes all PS3GÇ¦s have this recovery menu. Question: Will this damage my PS3? Answer: Not at all Question: What about my other accounts on the PS3? Answer: You will not have to re-activate the accounts on your PS3. Question: Why is my PS3 is stuck or frozen during the rebuild database? Answer: One possibility is your hard drive is failing. Make backups of everything you can now. You could also try GÇ£Restore File SystemGÇ¥ from the PS3 Safe Mode / Recovery Menu. Then try to rebuild the database again. If that still doesnGÇÖt fix your issues. Try doing a complete backup to a external hard drive and wipe your PS3 clean with the GÇ£Restore PS3 SystemGÇ¥ option. Question: What do the other options in the recovery menu do? Restart System: Restarts the PLAYSTATION-«3 System. Restore Default Settings: Reset all system settings back to default. Restore File System: Checks for corrupt/missing system files. Rebuild Database: Rebuilds the OS for the PLAYSTATION-«3. Restore PS3 System: Fresh restore; Deletes everything and starts from Scratch. System Update: Update the PLAYSTATION-«3 System [PULLED FROM http://www.ps3blog.net/2011/01/28/tips-and-tricks-ps3-rebuild-database-faq-recovery-menu/ ] Bhavesh (Reason for pull - to answer any other Q's)

Now you know my real name as a bonus That's pretty good service (as opposed to a canned response). In rare circumstances you'll need to Restore File System but this just clears the system's corrupt files a little more that Rebuild Database (which is just for network content and games.) Glad to hear you're back up and playing. Bhavesh
