My PS3 won't work!

It's been working fine until I turned it on a few days ago and there was no picture on the screen. It will turn on fine, the lights show, and I can even put games in and out. I tried plugging and replugging in everything. I even tried different TVs and VCRs, but still no luck. PLEASE HELP!

Was the visual output changed? You might need to reset or try different cables so you can restore the proper output.

Well here's what happened. Last month I was using a bigger TV, but it broke (God I have bad luck lol) and then I started to use a smaller one. Two weeks later (now) it's doing this, so I know it works for my TV. Though now that I think about it, it all started when I moved the PS3 from house to my brother's for a day. We plugged it into his giant HDTV but there was no picture. I thought it was just his TV but when I brought it back and it did the same thing.

You can try to hard reset it by holding the Power button down for 10 seconds while the PS3 is on standby mode. However, you said you can't even load or eject game discs in right? If that is the case, I don't know if hard resetting the console will help. You may have to call Sony and send it in for repair.

Which power button are you referring to? The one with the light next to it, or the switch on the back? Because I held the one that's like, touch sensitive and I didn't hear any 2 beeps. Thanks.

Hi, you have to hold down the touch sensor one with the lights for a few seconds until you hear the 2nd set of beeps.
