seems some people are having trouble seeing the recovery menu? just do the following.

1. put ps3 in standby
2. hold finger on power button until the ps3 turns on and then back into standby *hold all the time*
3. hold finger on power button, you will hear 1 beep, then 2 quick beeps.. take finger off the button

your now in standby.

just a few hours ago my ps3 seemed to have died, kept stalling at the startup spirals animation, after entering the recovery mode and selecting option 3 *restore system files*.. my ps3 restarted by itself and gave me a message saying harddrive corrupt and a progress bar while it repaired the problem. this happened 3 times in a row all by itself.. and when the ps3 reset itself the 4th time, everything was back to normal… all my demos/game saves/install games, everything was untouched.

looks like this is the fix to the so called “by others on another forum” spirals of death.

Used this trick about a week ago after my son did something. He was pissing his pants and I was pretty mad. Both relieved when I found this fix.
