Have you tried turning the power completely off and unplugging and replugging your console? I had something similar happen to me once where the XMB wouldn't show, but if you are getting no picture AND no sound then I'm not sure what the deal is. Have you tried different TVs?

i would check your hdmi cable, i was having this problem about a year ago on my old setup and it was just the hdmi cable (i think it was frayed internally) make sure its seated tightly to the tv and ps3 and try wiggling the cable around a bit and seeing if that makes it work at all.

I had that exact problem. The one on YouTube. I tried everything and nothing would work. I ended up finally getting the recovery menu up which saved me. It just took a while for the recovery menu to show. I'm not sure if the same will work in your case but I am sure that they're similar problems and a currupt OS is at fault. While trying to look for answers I started posting in Dyna-Cube's thread (the guy that made the YouTube vid). There's a guy who's also been posting on the thread with exactly your problem. Maybe you guys can help each other out. Here's the thread: http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&thread.id=3767246&view=by_date_ascending&page=3

Not really, if you're talking about the YLOD then I know your pain. My first 60gigger died like that. I don't know what was a bigger loss, the console or the irretrievable years of game save data.

hey you got the YLOD to before this happened as well. I didn't want mention it because knowing gamespotters they would probably just blame that :P. I actually fixed it like 4 times with that reflow/reflux process gilksy has on youtube but like the 5th time it broke It was from this issue not the YLOD but since then I got a slim. But I still really want to fix the 60gb because me and my bro want to play some cod together online. Thanks for the help anyways I'll try what you did to get your 60gb working hopefully it works for mine.

check cable and input and then hold down the power button for 5 seconds when turning it on.
