Have you tried holding down the power button untill it beeps twice? That will reset the video and sound output.

If that won't work, boot your PS3 into the recovery menu [Google it] and restore file system and database, that should fix it.

If you hold the power button on the console long enough it should switch off safely. Unplug any connected devices and retry.

I'm not sure if what happened to you is the same as what happened to me. But with my original PS3 40gb model I got the 'yellow light of death' where one day it randomly shut off and when I tried to turn it on, it would beep a couple of times then nothing would happen. 

If this is what happened to yours, then sorry, it's pretty much screwed unless you want to pay quite a bit to get it checked out and repaired, if possible.

I just went and bought a new PS3 slim 320gb :smileytongue: Still got that broken ps3 lying around somewhere.
