@catlady209 usually the blinking red light means that the console has shut down because of overheating. It is possible that you have a clogged (air ducts) or bad fan. Check something like this video for a possible solution. For a further teardown and to check things out, use these guides PlayStation 3

Hope this helps to get your PS3 working again.
