I tried to restore for resale I did the default and started full restore and it said 5 hours so about 10 min in I cancelled it and just deleted things myself now the console won’t let you insert game at all what should I do ?

I would say boot into safe mode and perform the following: Restore Default Settings Restore File System Rebuild Database Restore PS3 System It will likely take 5 hours though. Just to be safe, also download the latest firmware to USB and install it via safe mode.

How do you put it into safe mode
