Same. I'm guessing the update messed up the PS3 so we are forced to buy the newer models. Well, I just plan to use the PS3 for Blu-ray disc playback. For gaming, I will stick with PC & for Blu-ray movies, will probably just get the Xbox X.

If STILL not working, here is how i fixed it. 1) Take your HDD of. (search google) 2) Plug it to your pc like normal HDD (or use sata to usb adapter) 3) Go to disk management and find PS3 HDD 4) Format it to NTFS 5) Plug it back to your PS3 and power it up. 6) After few secs there should be some text on screen that tells you to format HDD. 7) Got through the setup and PS3 should work.

[@Simmonsilli]

My 10-year-old PS3 has always worked perfectly fine, but a few days ago I used a PS3 game that I have not used in a while and the screen went all glitched, so I turned off the PS3 and it hasn't worked since. The TV recognizes that the PS3 is there, but when I turn on the controller, it doesn't turn on the PS3, and when I manually turn on the PS3, the controller's lights keep blinking and the TV won't show the PS3 menu. Also, when I unplug the PS3 from the TV, it says "No Cable Connected." However, when I plug it back into the TV, it says "No Signal," even though the PS3 is on. What do I do?

[@Simmonsilli]

Also, in case you were wondering, the game that I used was the "Lego Movie Videogame." The game was missing for about 2 years but a few days ago, I found it in a movie case.

[@fourgiving1510]

The exact same thing happened to me. I had stopped using it for a couple of days and when I went to go turn it on it said there wasn’t anything connected. I tried multiple times, on a different tv, tried disconnecting & reconnecting cables but nothing worked. Super bummed :/

Try to keep your ps3 powered ON, then if still no picture, turn your ps3 off to standby mode then leave it there for about 10 to 15 mins until the console is a bit warm or hot, Then try to hold up the ON button until you hear the 2nd beep. Once hear it it will show pic. When there is no 2nd beep, try it all over again. Eventually it will show picture.

If the screen to the PS3 seems black despite tried to change visual settings and more, try to press and hold “ON/OFF” button until 3 beeps, not just two as before to reset settings. After 3 beeps it will restart. Press and hold until 2 beeps. After this I finally got my picture via HDMI cable and could upgrade settings from 560p to 1080p and it worked fine!
