Well you probably have a yellow light of death... ps3 turns on green nothing happends blinks yellow and goes back to red.
YLOD aka Yellow light of death.
Ps3 overheated and melted your CPU chips solder around it. Your CPU chip which is the brain of the PS3 melts Solder around it and creates a soldering bridge = when 2 different components become soldered as solid one. You can send it to Sony and they will fix it for you if its on warranty by saying fix im saying they will send you new one and you loose all the stuff from old ps3 you dont get your harddrive back so you just lost all safe files, trophies ect. if not on warranty its about 140$ or you can do it your self its not that hard it just takes time to take the ps3 apart to get to CPU to resolder the components. There is a guy that shows how to do it step by step on YouTube. Guy name is Gilksy he does it all slow and step by step in 3 videos I sent my 1st ps3 in and payed money for it i sent me new one didnt give my old harddrive back lost everything and this one keeps freezing on me all the time. I did resolder my self to 2nd ps3 that my friend had issue with and it works like a charm
Hope this explains it, trust points greatly appreciated

Why does your ps3 have a flashing red light?
nice video on the yellow light hope it helps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn89z_VUcP0
What does 0x8001050f mean on a PS3?
it means the connection on your ps3 is low or even if its high it hasn't picked it up properly yet if you wait a while it will sign you in if it doesn't it means there is a problem with your ps3 connection if it still says it in about 3 weeks it means your ps3 could be starting to overheat like my ps3 it will later on get the flashing red light so to prevent this TAKE YOUR DISC OUT OF THE PS3 WHEN DONE!!!!
How do you pair plantronics voyager pro to PS3 my PS3 cant find it?
do not turn your headset on until you start searching with the ps3. Once you have started searching press and hold the voyager power button until it starts flashing red and blue. It worked for me
Why is the green light flashing on my PS3?
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.
What to do when PS3 overheats?
Send it to Sony straight away cos if you don't they will ask why you waited so long and they wont give you a new one and make sure the game is out of the system when you turn it off cos it will be stuck in the system forever and all your saved data will be gone ( You will know if the ps3 system has overheated because you Will get a red-yellow flashing light )
