system won't turn on!? Hello! 
Last night my Playstation 3 was working perfectly fine, but this evening I tried to play a CD and it would not eject Modern Warfare 2. When I flipped the power switch in the back on and off again, the light in front was red (as usual). But when I pressed the power button it flashed to green for about 3 seconds, then flashed to yellow and then flashed to red and started to blink. I air compressed all the ventilation openings and not much dust was inside. When plugged back in it continued to do the flashing color routine. I am worried that IF we were to send our model in to SONY we would receive a newer model, which does not make me happy. I understand that newer models do not play Playstation 1 and 2 games, the Playstation 3 we currently own DOES play those games. IF we were to send in our Playstation 3 would SONY be willing to give us the same exact model and hardware it originally has?
So here are the main questions!
1.) Is there a way to fix the flashing light, and make the Playstation 3 turn on and play whatever playable disk inserted?
and
2.) IF there is no solution, would SONY return us our same Playstation 3 model we paid for?
Please help!

Ps. Our Playstation 3 is in an open area and is in no way enclosed, which leaves me too think that this is not an overheating problem. Me and my family take really good care of our PS3 and it has never left it's designated area in our home. It has NEVER been beat, bruised or battered.
