    It's broke I'm afraid. You'll have to call Sony (if it's still under warranty) or take it to a specialist store and get it fixed.

    Or buy the newer PS3

    That's called the ylod (yellow light of death). Usually caused buy overheating.

    Here are your options:

    1. Send it to Sony for repair - $150

    2. Find a local shop to do the repair

    3. Buy a new ps3

    4. Fix it yourself (cheapest and best option)

    Use this guide, it's the best one to fix the ylod:
