Please help. I am freaking out!

So I got a new PS3 slim back in December. So far, so good. Until today. I tried to turn it on and the light went from green (which I assume means A-okay) to flashing yellow, and then finally flashing red and the unit wouldn't turn on. I tried turning it on again a few more times... Same thing. At this point I was pretty panicky and didn't know what to do so I unplugged the unit, blew as hard as I could into the vents, said a few prayers, and plugged it back in. I powered it on again. This time it WORKED. But I'm still scared out of my mind. Was this the cursed YLOD? Or at least a foreshadowing to an imminent YLOD? I thought the Slim models didn't suffer from this problem. My PS3 is only 7 months old! Has this happened to anyone else?

Alas, I still have the fat 20g. Hasn't happened to me.

You shouldn't worry, just contact Sony and tell them about the problem. They will fix it because, like you said, your PS3 is only 7 months old and every PS3 has a 1 year warranty right out of the box.

[QUOTE="LOL-OMG-2"]Thats the YLOD but Slims havent been reported to YLOD. Maybe it wanst YLOD? Who knows, pray to the gods for your ps3 last for many more years.MethodManFTW

[QUOTE="LOL-OMG-2"][QUOTE="MethodManFTW"] Slim's still YLOD... The hope is that they YLOD at a much lower percentage as the PS3 fats..MethodManFTW

Just make sure you keep it cool and well ventilated. It probably just overheated and auto-off'd, although i'd contact the place you bought it firstly as they will definitely have much better customer service than Sony. Lets say you bought it at Game, tell them the issue and they might send a courier to pick it up and get it fixed.
