Im Not an expect but the fat ones were known to have problems. try taking it to a shop that can fix them, and they will examine it.

You can try hoovering the vents but sounds like its kaput.
Also try using sentences in your posts

If you do manage to get it working - immediately do a backup of all your data. Chances are it might be on the way out permanently and trust me - having a backup makes the transition to a newer model that much easier.

thanks for the tip

Same happened mine, so before the solder completely cracked I stripped the black casing off and left the unit as open as possible, placed it outside on the window sill and backedup all my data. If you have playstation plus all this data backup should be auto done for you. But the unit is gona go on you any day. I was sickened because the new slim is crap compared to the fat, less usb ports, crappy matt finish, just feels cheap and poor compared to the fat. But theres nowt to do but have your backup done and get a new one. If you ring sony they offer you a discount from your local gamestop for a refurbished one, bloody farce with only 3 months warranty, all designed to make you fork out for a new unit.
