Hello there andrew

If you have the red blinking light then you have the RED light of death AKA the RLOD.

The light is a warning sign to let you know something is wrong. I can give you the quick explanation, There are 2 chips on the motherboard inside the PS3, the GPU (graphics) and the CPU (brain), when playing the ps3 the solder heats up and when you finish playing it cools down, over time this will cause the soldering to crack and the chips to lose connection with the motherboard and you get the RLOD.

WHERE TO GO FROM HERE

Option 1 - Call Sony

In warranty the Price is Free, out of warranty the Price is $150, the whole process is 4-6 weeks

You can call Sony and they will collect the PS3, repair/replace, and deliver the PS3 back to you

Option 2 - Fix it your Self

You can use a PS3 fix manual to get this fixed easily and at home using household tools you probably already own.

You need to reflow the cpu and gpu chips on the motherboard. You can do this with a hot air gun pretty cheap ones on ebay that work just fine.

The red blinking light is typically the result of a heating issue but can also be caused by both a malfunctioning hard drive or a lose connection. The big problem with this is the $150 price tag that Sony charges to fix the issue. Below is a link with a more detailed description of the issue.

I hope the info listed above has helped in some way.
If possible please rate this solution.

connection problems or power surge connect to surge protecter

you hold down the power button (must be on stand by) it will beep once then two times (first beep when turns on does not count) and you will select rebuild hard drive once you turn on your controller (at first) it will take along time to finish rebuilding. P.S. hope this helps

that means you have a general hardware failure which means yor ps3 has died try send it back to sony for repair

have you tried putting the charger cord in ps3 linked to new controller this should pair the both together?

you must clean the lens
