Format your ps3 hard drive as FAT32. Right click in it your computer, choose format. Select fat32, quick format

Check if it works after.

Not sure if you tried this yet. Access your safe mode for your ps3 and restore the filesystem

When it turns off, does it make a clicking noise and show a yellow light? Which type of ps3 is it, fat, slim, or super slim?

 

[sub-zero]

No it turns off without any sound and doesnt show yellow Light and it is a slim ps3

Was it working before you took the hard drive out?

If you have a USB drive somewhere, try this I found this solution online:
Find a usb drive that is larger than 168 MB and format that to FAT32.
2. A computer.
3. Download the newest firmware from the computer (2).
4. Go inside the usb drive and make a new folder which you call PS3, and under that you make another which you name UPDATE. Under that folder is where you keep the firmware (3).
5. Plug the usb drive into the ps3 and power it.
6. Now it will read that you need to press select and start at the same time, but it should be easy from here.

Actualy it had a Red screen error before i formatted hdd and that Time i couldnt accesse to the safe mod and becouse of that i formatted hdd but now it turn off

Well, I would call Sony about this issue since it may not be the hard drive problem.

Waaooo tanx man if you found the solution just tell me here thank you so much

I will post if I find one. I had a similar problem on my ps3 slim and when I called Sony they had to replace the board inside, because it went bad..

No problem, contact them and they should help you figure it out.
