When i turn my ps3 on it will display the sony computer entertainment logo and then it will freeze. It wont go the the menu or anything.

I have tried putting a disk in but it doesn't read it

does anyone know how to fix it thanks

can try resetting the console itself. after you turn your ps3 on hold down the power button for about 5-10 seconds until you hear 2 beeps and all of your settings will be set to default. DO NOT RESTORE that deletes everything on your harddrive.

A normal reaction, but you may find sony repair or tech support a better option in the long run ; )

This is a Firmware 2.40 (or 2.41) update problem. It totally bricked PS3s, I had it happen to a friend of mine in real life, the only solution is to call Sony to repair it, you can't do anything about Firmware updates unfortunately.
