did it freeze then reboot?
or just turn off ?
if the latter may have over heated, let it cool and try again, if the light goes yellow/orange its had it 
check the warranty sony are pretty good at fixing them.
if no blue light and just green then the blueray laser has gone and it won't read disc (had two do this currently on my 3rd PS3) which has been
fine

Yep it's either overheated or died. If the latter they will replace it or repair it. But you won't get your disc out if it's died.

If it has died and it's out of warranty, there's a great set of YouTube videos that show you how to fix it yourself. Just search for YLOD
- yellow light of death! Gilksy1 seems to know what he's doing.

i have 2 ps3's at the moment with the same problem, the main reason it does this is becuase the main board gets too hot and the solder to the
chips of the main processor fatigues and cracks due to the heat cycles the ps3 goes through.
there is a couple of ways to fix it but the main that i have seen is to strip the ps3 down to the main board and the re-flow the chips with a heat gum
and cleaning and re-applying thermal paste.
i think sony charge about £150 to have this done if the ps3 is out of warranty
Hope this helps.
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!
