I think my PS3 has died, it turned off mid playthrough of mass effect 2 and now has a blinking red light when try to turn it on. Googling says a heat problem but the thing was only turned on for 20 minues and wasn't even warm to the touch.

Slim or phat?  That sounds an awful lot like the blinking red light that follows the YLOD, but I assume you'd have recognized that.

Phat 40GB, had it since about May 2008.  Gonna see if I can fix it long enough to recover save files, my last back-up was last September.  Kind of annoying if I cannot recover them because I am pretty deep into games like Yakuza 3 and various others, looking at hundreds of hours of progress across some games lost.  I did use the cloud saving thing for a few save files but not many since 150MB is pretty limited

Totally doable. I took Ail's great advice, got some guy to fix it for $45, backed up my saves, and bought a slim. I dont know what the rates are for you in the UK, or if you're gonna do it yourself, but your saves are totally retrievable.
