If your Play Station 3 (PS3) gets the 80010514 error somewhere, you can try this to resolve the problem:
1. Make sure that the power indicator on the Play Station 3 system is solid red. To do this, press and hold the power button until the PS3 beeps and the light blinks. Once the light has turned solid red, turn the power switch in the back off.
2. Turn the switch back on, then press and hold the power button.
3. Keep holding the power button even after you hear a short beep after 5 seconds.
4. After 10 seconds, you will hear another short beep and the system will shut down (release the button at this point).
5. Press and hold the power button again.
6. Continue holding the power button even after you hear a short beep after 5 seconds.
7. Release the button when two short beeps are emitted after 7 seconds.
8. As instructed by the on-screen message, plug in the controller and press the PS button
9. Select restore Play Station 3 system.
This should not affect any of your save games, demos, etc. but just to be safe you might want to back up to an external USB hard drive.
To backup saves, go to the Play Station 3 Save Data Utility, select the save you wish to copy and hit the Triangle button. Copy should come up as one of the options. If it does not then the save game is copyright protected and can’t be copied. If you can copy it, make sure you have a USB drive attached and copy it to that.

If the above
steps still does not solve the problem, then I think will have to update
your Ps3.
Update your PS3 (in the settings menu the 1st option).
Go
on the internet browser on the PS3 then go on the menu press triangle
then on one of them there are delete cookies and the delete the others
as well as cookies.
You could also try this as well: put the
PS3 on then press the eject button (with no disc in) then hold it and
switch the PS3 off at the back with your finger on the eject button
still holding it, then put it back on and the fan test should be working
this may cool it down. It might be over heating.
But if your
problem is not still solved, then maybe you should call sony for further
assistance.

Alright you need to put your ps3 in what is called "safe mode". First make sure there is no disc in the ps3, then turn off the ps3 in the back(main power switch), turn that switch back on, then hold the power button in front until you hear a total of 3 beeps, then let go, the light will be red, hold the power button again and you will hear 2 beep then a quick double beep, let go of power button and the light should stay green. A menu will appear, try all option working your way up from option 1 until it works. If you go through all 6 option and you are still having issues call 1-800-345-7669 to have your ps3 serviced
if you have moved your ps3 to a different tv or something, the video setting can get messed up, thus having to reset the video settings. here are a few steps to do so.
1. put your finger on the reset button and wait until the ps3 is in standby. (Keep holding your finger on it, don't let go)
2. turn off the ps3 completely by switching off the power switch (make sure your still holding your finger on the reset button)
3. turn your ps3 back on (while still holding the reset button) and you will hear a beep. keep holding the reset button until you hear a second beep. let go of the reset button as soon as you hear the second beep
this should reset the video of your ps3. ive done this to my ps3 before because when i was installing linux i almost screwed up my ps3. when i turned on my ps3 no picture or sound would appear. so i called sony and this is what they told me to do and it worked.
