It doesn't sound like your console has been bricked. But if you'd like to check if it's bricked do this: Check if your power light changes colours when turning on. If your PS3's power light changes from green to yellow, then to a flashing red, this means you're PS3 is bricked. Since you can turn on your system fine then I don't think it's bricked, because if it was bricked your PS3 would not turn on at all due to internal damage or software corruption. Also, do you hear 5 double beeps that are really fast when turning on your PS3? And then does it shutdown 3 seconds later?
No its not fully bricked i know that, powers on like normal no light change and stays on, just black screen, can get in recovery menu just fine
