DO NOT PAY TO FIX YOUR PS3 BEFORE TRYING THIS! DO NOT FORMAT YOUR PS3 BEFORE TRYING THIS!
A while back, my ps3 was broken. I couldnt play any sort of games and i was pissed off to say the least.
I was gonna bring it to a store and get it fixed for HUNDREDS of euros... but then i found this!
This lets you open the Ps3's recovery menu and fix all your software problems, corrupted files, disk read errors, whatever. The option i used didnt delete anything either! I had a HDD error so i used Rebuild Database. I had 40 movies on my Ps3 and plenty of game data, and i still have it all now!

So i just hold the power button (must have no controllers charging) unitl you hear the 2nd beep.
Then go to rebuild file system - doesnt take long either

This doesnt work with the YLOD. The YLOD stops the screen from working.
