Hold down the power button for five seconds, if that doesn't work, unplug it, if that doesn't work, contact Sony.

Your supposed to turn on the PS3 on the front. Unless for some reason you thought that it was 'off' and you pressed the already on switch and turned it off.

Always keep the back switch on. So that when you turn it off the light goes red. Then always turn it on with the button in front or your controller.

Okay, i've never heard of the yellow light before. I strongly suggest you call Sony on this one. Or if anyone else is familiar with the situation, you'd be in luck.

I did some searching (you'd be suprised what google can find you), and there are other threads related to the yellow light your talking about.:

http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&thread.id=1438242&view=by_date_ascending&page=1

Apparently, your system fan is broken and will need to be replaced (says another poster).

Good luck to ya.

Not reading disk? It seems that the BD optical pickup head is locked due to a surge or something like that.

Even the products with best quality control has DOAs. There's no guarantee it won't happen, but just with a much much smaller chance.

Well at least its not melting like the 360. Thats nice how it shuts off if the fan fails.

Bad luck you had, but at least you didn't have to send your PS3 to Sony and wait for it to be fixed. You can download you downloadable games again but your saves are gone, unfortunately.

I'm thinking that you may have switched it off at the back while the HDD light was flashing, in which case you may have corrupted the harddrive.

Broken fan, optical light not working... sounds like a 'you don't keep your house clean' problem.

Please avoid over-using capital letters like that, it is disruptive.
