Mine did the same other week, take to peices get the main board, heat up with hot air gun this will reflow the board.
Put back together, turn on working.
There is even ebay kit, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COMPLETE-PLAYSTATION-3-PS3-YLOD-REPAIR-REFLOW-KIT-HEAT-GUN-/320833469864?pt=UK_VG_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4ab32a3da8
Just dont get them too toasty as bits will start to fall off the board.
