Sounds like a YLOD.
Is it still under warranty? Send it to Sony for a replacement.
If it's not, find the dusty heatgun and a youtube vid ;)

based on that vid, it is ylod. send it to sony if still under warranty; if not, u'll need to reflow the motherboard.

It's a long shot but is your hard drive in properly?
I heard in some cases where the PS3 won't turn on if the HD isn't in properly.
