Turn off the PS3 at the back power switch.
Now put your finger on the power on button at the front panel, keep your finger there.
Switch on power at the back switch, still keeping your finger on the front switch.

The fan will sound loud doing this, it isn't just an emergency disc eject function it's also a fan test.

there wen't a lot of progress :(

Aw shit that sucks. Overheating most like. There are things you can do but probably only end up being a short term fix. You can leave it off for awhile and try again but probably end up getting the ylod.

After getting your disc out of the console you can see if it will turn on again.

If it doesn't then you could try pulling the HDD out and turning the console on.
Besides checking to see if the HDD is the issue I'm not sure what you can do in your situation :shrug:
Are you sure it doesn't show green light, then yellow very briefly, then red light?

It shouldn't be overheating if it isn't summer there, but then overheating is still possible as the fats have poor quality thermal adhesive between the chips and spreaders (I'm not talking about the thermal compound issue, which isn't difficult to replace yourself).

Ah ok forgot about your setup for a minute :P
Do the fan test anyway it might blow some dust out.
If it still won't boot properly after that then try pulling the HDD.

Are you turning it off and on at the back switch?

Even if it's ylod it should still do the fan test. I have 2x fats here that are ylod and will still do a fan test before shutting off.

And it won't complete a fan test properly? The test doesn't last long but you know it's working because the fan sounds like a jet :wacko:
