PS3 latest update

Google it but basically starting from an Off hold down the On sensor (with your finger on the console) it will turn on, hold it and it will turn off. Keep your finger on and it will turn on and go into Video reset, keep holding and it wll beep twice and go into the Recovery mode, release your finger after the 2 beeps. I believe its option 4. It will tell you that you will lose messages (backup your stuff before you start this)

I have done this twice and it took 1-2 minutes each time.

btw when I did it I didnt lose anything, game saves and demos and full games (I had plus at the time) all was there.

Then I would say that either you were lucky or I was unlucky. I can't tell you how pissed I was when much of the information on my hard drive wasn't recovered.
