Strange - I held the button in but only heard one beep, followed by a pause and another beep and it shut down. No three beeps.

However, it did reset everything back to default as if it were out of the box (Settings wise). Proceeding with a full-format now.

My issue was freezing/locking up the system when playing anything disc related, such as a Blu-ray movie or a retail game.

It fixed mine. It wouldn't register any games or movies after a power outage. I thought the Blu Ray drive was screwed but the reset fixed it. Thanks!!!

I have a problem that my ps3 doesn't read any disc's. But i can watch videos/movies from an external hard drive. I tried this "factory reset" but it didn't do anything. I just lost 3,5 hours of my day.

Mideasternmafia, Did you resolve your problem? Mine just quit in the same fashion. Title screen only, menu does not load. It looks like a firmware/hardware lockup. Can you give me some info on how you solved your problem? Can anyone else help?
Thanks.
DrillPress.

Nope this can't be fixed by hard drive reset or anything else you try. It is a hardware problem to do with your bluray diode (the disc reader) not functioning. It is Error Code "80010514"
and you will need to send it back to Sony for a new copy for free, or if your don't have a warranty for a fee.

Or you can try and fix it by buying the faulty part and following tutorials on the internet to install it.

is this an option for solving the problem of discs that do no tregister with the system, whether it be games, dvds, or BRdiscs? i mean i put the disc into the drive, and nothing happens except a few odd, quiet noises form the dist drive.
