Do a barrel roll!
Hold Power button down for 6 seconds (while PS3 is on): turns off PS3.
Hold Eject button down for 6 seconds (while PS3 is on): force disc to eject.
Hold Eject button down for 12 seconds (while PS3 is on): reset Blu-ray.
Hold Power button down for two beeps (while PS3 is off): Reset video to lowest settings.
Hold Power button down for three beeps (while PS3 is off): Enter PS3 diagnostic mode (repeat procedure twice)
Hold PS button down on controller for 10 seconds: Turns off Sixaxis or Dualshock 3.
The PS3 can enter a special "Service Mode". When it does the bottom right hand corner of the screen has a red translucent rectangle with the words "Playstation 3. Factory/Service Mode" inside of the rectangle. It is rumored that by plugging a special JIG in the USB port (and then pressing both Eject and Power button at the same time), the PS3 shuts down and is triggered into Service Mode the next time it boots up. This special mode then accepts firmware code loaded in from the USB port, and allows reflashing the firmware chip.

What does resetting the blu ray accomplish exactly?

You should just use compressed air from a can that you would normally use for computers. It works great and doesn't fry your components over time unlike the fan test.

Confirmed but it just sucked all the dust it shot out right back into the right side rofl!
