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.

Maybe power and eject, or like a iphone style DFU enter so hold one for awhile then let go, bla bla bla. seems stupid to add a feature on a newer model TBH

Nope, the fan test doesnt exist on the old hardware. It was brought in much later. This makes the 60GB a pain if it YLODs, since there is no way to test if its the powersupply, or eject the disc without opening it. The fan test work even if its YLODd - which is a good test to see before you open it if its not the powersupply which crapped out (Which is also a cause for YLOD).
