I attempted to do an update to my PS3 and it failed the update 2 times so I thought that I would power cycle it to see if it would finally work.

When I power cycled it I flipped the power button on the back off and pulled the power cord out for 20 seconds. When I turned the device back on the red light on the front came on showing that it has power.

I pressed the on/off button on the front of the PS3 and then the green light came on showing that it was booting up, but the green light only stayed on for 10-20 seconds then it immediately went back to red.

I can't really hear anything turning on in that 20 seconds that the green light is on and am wondering what went bad? Does anybody have any suggestions to help me find a solution?

Can I pull out the hard drive and re-format it and put it back in to see if the file system was bad?

Any suggestions would be super helpful!

Thanks!
