First, try doing a hard reset by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds until it beeps twice. If that doesn't work, boot into Safe Mode by turning off the console, then holding the power button until you hear two quick beeps. From there, you can try options like 'Restore File System' or 'Rebuild Database.'

Just give it a quick prayer and a restart! Seriously, though, try holding the power button until it beeps twice to reset it.

Try a hard reset or starting it in Safe Mode. If those don't work, it may need professional repair.
