In general these are two useful tips:
1) Pressing and keeping pressed the off button for few seconds switches off the PS3.
2) Pressing the on button for few seconds when the PS3 is already off will boot the game os.

Type at kboot prompt:

ps3-boot-game-os

Also works at a console prompt within Linux.

Hi there,

if you press the power-on button around 5 seconds, you should hear two beeps....then, the game os will boot as usual.

Regards,
Stefan

Hello:

I can not restart the PS3. When you enter the command "ps3-boot-game-os" I displayed the following message:

ps3flash sb_03: ps3flash_read_write_sectors: 48: read failed 0x2050000
os_area_header_read: 61_ read error: os_area_header.
Input / output error
main: 611: error os_area_read_hp
ERROR: cant't change boot flag


What can I do?

Thank you.

Switch the PS3 off using the power switch at the back.
Switch back on then press & hold the on button at the front
Your PS3 should then boot into PS3 mode
