Check your power cable connections, at the wall and also at the ps3 console. You could have a loose connection or a defective cable.

If the system turns on but then turns itself off, beeps at you and flashes it's lights at you then you have over heated the system. The GPU chip has probly pulled itself away from the board. This will require you to diassemble the PS3...... u just fix this by using ps3 repair guide....

3 times standby red light blinking shows that lamp cover has not been placed back properly after lamp replacement.
Make sure lamp cover, (the first thing that you removed to replace lamp in tv) is fixed securely then turn tv On.

It happened with my PS3 too, What I did, I sent to Sony and then They sent me a new one. If your PS3 is still in warranty, you should send to Sony Here's a LINK for online service request

Are you trying to turn the PS3 on via bluetooth controller? If so, attempted to turn PS3 on from console itself. Sometimes the controller will get out of sync with the system and not allow for turning on remotely.

Greetings,

Power supply cannot sustain / provide juice to the whole system.
If you are qualified to do electronics, check the power supply section, otherwise contact a repairman.
