Why can't I turn on safe mode in my ps3 super slim?

Why can't I turn on safe mode in my ps3 super slim?

Alright , so , I have tried to follow the rules in Playstation.com of how to get into safe mode but it doesn't work on super slim . I don't know if it doesn't even work in super slim , but the only reason i need it is that whenever I try restoring my corrupt data , it gets stuck at 47% . So when i tried using safe mode according to the rules given in Playstation.com , it beeps once then it turns on , and then another beep after approximately 5 seconds and then it's supposed to be two beeps rapidly but it beeps once and then the ps3 system turns off !

"This is the way I perform the steps.

1. With the console ""OFF"", push power button and hold, it will power on, continuing holding the power button until it powers off.

2. Then release the power button.

3. Push and hold the power button again. It will beep and then double beep.

4. After that, release the power button and you should get the screen with the different options."

"Hi,

Yes, it's work at super slim too. Switch off the console by holding the Power button (press and hold it contentiously until the PS3 powers off).

Now press and hold again the power button. Hold it until the console beeps 4 times (one beep, one beep, then two beeps), then release the Power button.

Now you are in the Recovery menu.

Regards."

My ps3, like when I turn it on it says you didnt turn off the ps3 correctly and I press ok , it loads and stops at 77 and the start up shows and in the middle of it it freezes?

my playstation will turn on but not boot at all, nor will it get into safe/recovery mode. blank black screen and no sound. only way I herd was to but a new hdd and download the newest ps3 system update off the website onto a thumbdrive from a computer. then, slip new hdd into ps3 and safe mode should work and install update from thumbdrive from safe/recover mode and should be good from there. and you may be able to save some game data off the old hdd by getting a external hdd cradle and hooking it up to the ps3 usb and get into safe mode/recovery mode and go from there. or take your hdd and stick it into another ps3 and try safe mode from there.
