Last Update Messed Up My PS3

Hey everyone,

I am barely ever online with my PS3, and I haven't been online for awhile. So, I fire up my PS3 late last week and I decide that I want to check out the PS Store. But, I have to do an update first before I can go online. So, I do the update and the PS3 restarts. I wait. And wait. But it just goes to the start screen where it says "SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT" and it has that wave background before it loads my own background. It just stays there. My controllers won't even turn on.

So... does anyone know how to fix this? know whats wrong with it? I appreciate anyone who helps me out.

Thank you

P.S. I know there's probably something on the board like this but I don't have the time or patience to go through thousands upon thousands of forum posts.

I can't even do anything. The controller doesn't turn on. The PS3 XMB/icon screen doesn't come up. It just stays at this wavy line with a red background. I tried googling my problem but have come back with nothing. Thanks tho. If anyone else could help, I would really appreciate it.

Got it working. Held the power button down when I started it up and then restored the PS3 back to default from the menu that came up. Lost all my saves and what not. But have a working PS3 again. Well, back to the ole' drawing board. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Only thing I can think of is turning the PS3 on at the back then holding the power button until it beeps.

Hope that helps.
