I found this after my mp3s went crazy on the ps3:

to reset video input:
1. shut off the ps3
2. press and hold the power button until system beeps twice (once for on, another for resetting video settings)

to get to the restore menu:
1. shut off the ps3
2. press and hold the power button until the system beeps twice AND turns off again
3. press hold the power button until the system lets out two fast beeps

Supported Features of 2.50 Recovery Mode
The current Recovery Menu supports:
- Restart System: Restarts the PLAYSTATION®3 System.
- Restore Default Settings: Reset all system settings back to default.
- Restore File System: Checks for corrupt/missing system files.
- Rebuild Database: Rebuilds the OS for the PLAYSTATION®3.
- Restore PS3 System: Fresh restore; Deletes everything and starts from Scratch.

i had to rebuild the database because my mp3s were messed up.
