When 'phat' PS3 systems die, it is usually the kiss of true death, unless you can reflow a BGA. Most phats die from excess heat, which leads to cracked BGA surface mounts. If you can reflow, or know someone who can, I have no doubt it can be brought back to life, but it usually isn't worth the time or effort for a phat since they aren't worth much.
