blinking red light

Guys any help will be appreciated.

Updated my PS3 to Rogero CFW 4.30 V2.03 with multiman 4.17.00 base and updated again to 4.17.02 pkg files, about a week ago and no problems what so ever. All old and new games worked. backed up resident evil 6 and tested it to be working. enabled internet access on PS3 and tested working. then went to Multiman update online and a new version were available 4.17.05 before i could even start the update my PS3 gave 2 beeps and shut down with a blinking red light. same thing happens when i try to switch it back on. 2 beeps and shut down with a blinking red light.

is this hardware related or did i bricked my PS3 somehow?
Will a E3 flasher sort out my problem?

thanks guys

The 3beeps is quick, can be mis heard as 2. There is no 2beep shut off like that ^_^

@Mr.Dutch your right its a ylod problem, if it turned back on I would say it just got to hot or needs to be cleaned. Since its not turning back on, Mr Dutch is right.

@Hefner you are a new proud owner of ylod ps3, sorry and wish you the best of luck. Needs a reball, search local computer repair stores and see if any can do a reball on ps3, should cost no more. Then 60$-65$ for a permanent fix on ps3.
