Answer

Hello,

My name is Steve and I will be assisting you with your problem. My son has a PS3 and it did the same thing after a sony update completed.

 

Solution:

1. With the PS3 in Standby mode (Red light on), press and hold the Start button until you hear a single beep, followed by double beeps.
2. Connect the controller using USB cable and press the PS button on the controller.
3. Now, the system restore screen (or whatever they call it) will come up like this

4. You have several options here for restoring the system, some will unfortunately wipe up all your data, others will make you lose the file naming. For me, I used the option Restore PS3 System.
5. Restart the system.
