First, try accessing Safe Mode by holding the power button until you hear two beeps, then select 'Restore File System' or 'Rebuild Database' options. If that doesn't work, you might need to reinstall the PS3 firmware via USB. Make sure you have a backup of your data!
Honestly, sometimes the best bet for a bricked PS3 is to take it to a professional. You don鈥檛 want to make things worse by fiddling around!
Been there, done that. Try connecting a USB drive with the latest firmware update, then booting in Safe Mode to reinstall it. Worked like a charm for me!
