PS3 Slim Instantly Loses Power

Tried turning on my PS3 a few moments ago and it instantly lost power. It would beep like normal to turn on, but then the light completely went off. Am I completely boned or is there a way to fix it? Pretty sure it's not my power supply because i've tried several outlets around the house.

Do you have a spare, or alternative figure of eight cable you could possibly try?

The exact same happened to mine 2 days ago, and from my reseach it looks like the PSU.

 

I have sent mine to SKP Repair in Dundee for repair (£50)

Sorry, forgot to come back here to mention.

My PS3 suddenly started working again for some reason. I hope it was just a momentary derp on its part. I'd really rather not have to spend any money on the stupid thing.
