PS3 won't boot up! Any advice please?
You have a power supply OCP fault.
The power supply needs to be replaced or tweaked. There is a variable resistor inside the power supply that needs to be adjusted.
Yopu PS3 is tripping the Over Current Protection fault circuit. Common problem
Thank you! Just ordered a new power supply and will give it a try!
Replaced power cable and still no good! Same problem! Any further advice!
Tried resetting ps3 but doesn't stay on long enough! It he eject blue light flashes for a short while now before again switched off! Any further advice??

Alternatively you can try to repair ps3 YLOD yourself. There are a couple of things you can try to fix YLOD - check for any loose connections since some connections might be loose, you can also try switching it off for around 30 mins and switch it on again. This will help in cooling your PS3 down.
If these tricks don't work, then I will suggest you go through a dedicated PS3 repair guide instead of tinkering on your own. Such guide will cost you almost nothing in comparison to what Sony charges. And, god forbid, if it happens again you can solve the problem for free.
One of the greatest thing about doing it yourself is that you don't have to pay hefty charges to the big companies. Also, you don't have to wait for weeks, you'll completely fix ps3 ylod in no more than a few hours. Many people have already successfully fixed yellow light of death and I don't see a reason why you won't be able to do it. If my PS3 has yellow light of death then I won't pay Sony to repair my PS3. I'd rather fix PS3 lights myself.
If all this steps wont work i suggest to call SONY

ok i had a ps3 in my shop yesterday with the same problem. So here's how i fixed it.
Originally I had thought it was a ocp fault. But the power supply was a 2200bb psu so no ocp fault there. I reflowed the gpu and no luck. But I did washer the GPU. I placed washers in between the heatsink and gpu evenly. The washers help put downward pressure on the gpu. The ps3 turned on. But it only lasted two songs on guitar hero and cut back off.
