The PS3's power indicator blinks when you turn off the system to tell you it's shutting off. As you probably know, the blue light indicates that a disc is in the drive and the red light is when the PS3 is off and in standby mode.

A constant green blinking light could mean some problem occurred and it is taking longer than normal to shut off, if it doesn't turn off, hold the front power button down for 10 seconds to turn it off. You may then have to turn the PS3 on again with the same button as the PS button on the controller may not turn it back on.

How does PS3 get ylod?

The answer from what is YLOD has been added to this question in it's entirety. Basically the PS3 YLOD is a hardware fault on the motherboard, sony claim that there is no single reason behind yellow light of death but as a rule this is due to the cheap solder that sony use. When your PlayStation has been on for prolonged periods of time it will reach high temperatures causing the solder on the motherboard to melt, as it cools (when you turn it off) it cracks causing a faulty connection. The term YLOD stands for yellow light of death, after this has happened to your PlayStation any attempt to turn it on will result in it beeping and flashing from green to yellow and finally flashing red.
