You should not be disappointed and sad when your PS3 gets the
blinking red light problem. Most of the times, it is a problem of
connection with your hard drive or the hard drive itself is broken.You
can quickly fix the PS3 by carefully re-setting the drive. In order to
do this, you need to take out the hard drive and then once out, replace
inside the PS3 the same way. Usually this is the answer to the Ps3
blinking red light problem. If the red light does not go away by
applying thus method, you will have to get a new drive or in some cases
a new PS3, ouch!
But do not worry because even if you have to get a new drive, it can be any. Even a 50$ hard drive will work- it just have to have a SATA connection.
For instance,
the first thing that you need to thoroughly check is the cables. Most
the times this problem arises because of the cables not being properly
hooked up. Although this may sound very basic, yet it is something that
most people tend to ignore.
Just
in case the cables are properly hooked, the next thing that you need to
check for is any damage in the cables. If you find that the cables are
all right, then you need to check your TV’s resolution. These are some
of things that you need to look for whenever you find your PS3 blinking
red.
The playstation manual describes in it, with pictures how to install a new drive. Try removing your old drive, and just reconnecting it. All you need a screwdriver and about 5 minutes or less.
SOURCE: ps3 will not turn on
Your playstation is oficially broken and needs to either be replaced or repaired. Sony will fix this problem for $150.00 through their website(under warranty its free). This problem happened because it overheated and the soder melted to the point where the componets shut down and the unit went into safe mode :( :(

it sounds like you have a short in the system. take it to a repair plase. don't try to service it your self it will disable it self if you take off the cover.
This is called a System Error. It is about the same as the Xjunks ring of death. You need to call Sony if you haven't broken your seal yet.
SOURCE: My PS3 has a flashing red light, when I turn it
Hello there baileys 946 If you have the brief
flashing yellow light, then its followed by a red blinking light then
you have the yellow light of death AKA the YLOD. The lights are 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 YLOD. WHERE TO GO FROM
