How to turn off a frozen PS3 when the power button won’t work?

I was playing Skyrim and my PS3 froze, this happens once in a while and I can usually manually turn it off to restart it with the power button on the console... but for some reason the power button will not work at all. The eject button works however.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Does the Power button only stop responding when you play Skyrim? This video shows a possible solution if you think it's a hardware issue. If it only happens with Skyrim it's likely a software issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi8S2JBO...
