  • this is not safe !

  • um i dont thise but instead of taking my finger off the ejection button when i turn it back on, i kept a hold of it and now the red light keeps blinking and i cant turn in on unless i use the back button, can anyone help?

  • what is it good for

  • this doesn't work when i do it. if there's a disk inside then it just ejects, and if there's no disk then it just beeps 3 times to tell me there's no disk

  • I have done this to my 120Gb like 8 times...Is not that it will destroy your ps3 just because you do it one or two times,

  • its work with ps3 slim 250 gb

    thanx man

  • don't do this, just open it after this "cleaning" and you'ill see the dust in there, and don't use compressed air, use a vaccum

  • cool

  • Dude has your ps3 got ylod coz my fat one did so I did the fan test to get my disk out and i got the tree beeps just at the start like you I got the slim now much more reliable

  • Don't do this, Dont do this, Don't do this Do NOT DO THIS. If you can't suck out dust blow it out with compressed air!

  • omh i yhought my ps3 was on fire :DD just seing all de dust coming out of it :DD

  • holy shit !!! how did you get that fan test trophy :D

  • HMMM....right when your banner about the tutorial pops up, it points at your thumb.. WHY IS YOUR THUMB NAIL PAINTED BLACK?

  • Bad idea people who follow this video!

  • DO NOT AUTO-CLEAN the PS3 Fat or the PS3 Slim version! In the manual, it says suck dust out with a low-powered vacummn!! Your PS3 version will malfunction or have the red ring of DEATH. Serious comment

  • @MrCbaker4 Yellow light of death XD not red

  • @MrCbaker4 PS3 WIT RED RINGS SHIIIIT

  • OMG PS4 watch?v=YMbmbSMOW_I

  • that a fan test. lmao

  • you are a fucking dipshit for doing that to your ps3. It takes like 2 seconds to take the ps3 apart and clean it if its that damn bad. And if its not then vacuum all the little square holes around the ps3. Took me a whole 10 mins to clean my blu-ray lens. NEVER do that to your ps3 there is no point but to fuck it up. It will overheat. Maybe not the first time. Maybe not the second time.

  • @YourePrettyGoood this wont fuck up your system. why do u think they build it for?

  • @XxXbadnewsxXx If that was for customers to use they would have made some other button or told you how to do it in the manual. That fact that you have to hold the EJECT BUTTON and turn the power supply switch should be proof enough. But I guess some people are just that dumb. Why would you even want to do this? WHATS THE POINT!?!?

  • @YourePrettyGoood so u are saying its a glitch?

  • @XxXbadnewsxXx Im sure its not a glitch. I'm sure sony wants you to do it so you have to buy a new ps3.

  • If you weren't supposed to do this, Sony would have fixed it with an update!

  • i trided your fucken way it brock my ps3 and i am only 13

  • i trided your fucken way it brock my ps3 and i am only 13

  • why would they make the ps3 do this if it fucks it up

  • @brandon5474 if you wernt in fucking outter spac you would know! this is the reason: THEY DO IT SO YOU HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE, THTS HOW THEY MAKE MONEY

  • @brandon5474 its a fan test, and it also blows dust and lint from the vents....it doesnt fuck it up dipshit

  • @brandon5474 so you buy a new one

  • Sony have added this thing for you can eject you game disc after YLOD or other problem like that.

  • all ps3's noob! xD

  • People, i think its stupid that people say that the fan test will damage your system. Sony would never put such a thing in one of their products that would deliberately damnge your system. There would be no point. THINK people.

  • @dominiqueradio ya, well if sony is stupid enough to make a ps3, than there stupid enough to make something that will break it!

  • @dominiqueradio Offff course Sony wouldn't put something that would damage your system, making you buy a new one. And making them more money........ That would be a retarded business move!!

  • @niglet3000 bs sonny judt did it lamo

  • This worked on my 80GB PS3. I'm sure it works on all of them. It shot out a huge cloud of dust when I did this, didn't fix my laser but obviously cleaned out my PS3.

    To all the idiots who think this will break their PS3: Why the hell would sony include a feature that would destroy their own system? They'd have to fix a ton of ps3's under warranty if it broke the system.

    @standupH20: this would actually make your fan last longer since it's no longer bogged down by dirt and dust

  • my ps3 40gb autoclean itself while im playing

  • You should only resort to this when the disc won't read or the fan has so much dust it over heats and you are so lazy, you'd rather shorten the life of your PS3 instead of cleaning it.

  • l0l

  • omg why would sony put a self destruction button on the ps3? i dont think your ps3 will broke if you just do it one time

  • Thank you very much you save my ps3 =D

  • thank you for helping me bring my ps3 blu ray player to work again. I just saved 150 $ !!!

  • keep doing that and youll have a surprise

  • Shit i was about to do this. but i saw all this comments sayin it will fuck ur ps3 up. i was like FUCK THIS i wont be doin this.

  • @driftmaster206 why would they add a feature that fucks it up. what an idiot.

    people are only saying that through word of mouth, do you think 500 people who commented actually broke their ps3 using this method? dumbass

  • its work on my 80 gb

  • lol i feel sorry for the poor Ps3

  • works on slim and others its for disk eject silly

  • I dont see any cleaning. WTF?

  • yeah don`t do that, it will go boom!!!

  • overheating its ok, if its winter.....

  • ur so dum fuck you y woud u kill a ps3

  • it works on the 80gb

  • this burns out your fans since it runs at full voltage. anything using its full voltage greatly increases the chances of failure.

  • NEVER do that

  • my nephews 60 gig has this but everyone is right this is bad for your system and beware of jackasses working at sony one of them told my nephew over the phone that its good to do this to your system

  • whoa... that was a joke. ps3 has no auto clean, just keep it in a smoke free environment

  • do this everyday and your playstation will work 4 eva says i lol

  • @570mane im gonna do it twice a day!

  • definately never do this to your ps3!!! it will fuck up ANY ps3

  • Why did Sony made this feature if its gonna break it ???

    WEIRD, SOMEONE REPLY thanks

    im new to ps3

  • @2beg2began This is a "fan test" not an "auto clean" and I'm pretty sure it causes the PS3 to over-heat. This is not the proper way to clean the unit and it should never be used.

  • @2beg2began As someone said its a fan test, and it also has the functionality of a force eject. Say for example your game is stuck inside if the PS3 does a yellow light on you (equivalent to the 360 red rings), this feature will allow you to get the game or disc out. It should really only be used in that case if something is already wrong with your PS3 and you have a disc lodged inside.

  • Ummm, could the uploader rename the title to "Auto Break Ps3" Thanks.

  • only do it to the 40gb it will fuck other ps3's up

  • it works for the smaller 120 and 250 too. you just have to remove the power plug in the back of the console, hold down the eject button and plug in the power again. you should hear till you hear 3 beeps after 5 to 6 seconds. Wooooosh! after its done and has shut down remove and re insert the plug. dont do this if the machine is hot. only on a cold start.

  • Thats fucken dumb your fan is spinning at high speed meaning if you keep doing it the motor that spins the fan will die plus you wreck your ps3 all the inside parts get a lot of air blown on them from the fan and wrecks them

  • Really... Does it ruin your PS3? Some people says it does others... Dont.. Im confused..

  • This guy is a dumb ass this is a feature if you ps3 faild to take your disk out not to clean you ps3 and this can damage your system

  • @bigpie23 they all do the exact same thing besides the 20 60 and old 80 gig were backwords compatible even the new ones are exactly the same besides you cant put linux on them i believe and you can always go to your local electronics store and get 1TB HD for like 100$ and put it in and ps3

  • @bigpie23 why lmao? same as newer 80 gig not the slim

  • Why should you not do it?

    Fan test Rev's the RPM to its max or over the max. do this every week, you may need to change your fan, cuz it will die, you will shorten your fan life :D.... now flame on meeeeee!!!!!!!

  • @StandupH2o thats bullshit

    you dont know anything about these ps3s now do you

  • @BritishBlackOps And that means ? What happends when you overvolt your fan? Example a DC 12 Volts running on 20 all the time ? it wont run the same lifespan as when it runs @ 12 Volts.

    My PS3 system runs max out all day everyday because were i live @ its 31c during the day and around 27 -26 at night. Still hasnt die on me. now call me a troll!!

  • @StandupH2o When you use fantest you dont increas the voltage, to make the fan speed faster, you still dont increase the voltage, you increase the current or the amps.

    Say i have a waterwheel, the more water that falls on the wheel, the faster the wheel spins.

    Also the max amps the ps3 fan will use is 2.8 and plus theres a resister on the fan board that will resist any current that is inputted to the fan thats over 2.8 so the fan will never have to risk the motherboard overcurrenting it.

  • @BritishBlackOps In theory yes it would not allow it. but i have cases of it ;)

  • to the cunts who say this breaks your ps3

    all i have to say to you is: XBOX FANLOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • every1 brags on about how sony dont recomend it well why the fuck put it there ???

  • it is A FAN TEST not a auto clean ,and it work on 60,120,160 to

  • 40 gigs not the only one that do it.

    caue my 40 gig did it too.

  • lol

  • noob

  • poor device :(

  • @maister123456 this is shit because this makes ur ps3 selfdestroy

  • Bello smalto

  • no, it works for ALL PS3 models...i have a 160gb and it works too, my cosiun have a 60gb and it works to, my friend have a slim AND works to

  • This is not approved by Sony and could damage your console. A small vacuum cleaner applied to the ports of your ps3 is the safe way to clean dust from your ps3. READ YOUR USER MANUAL.

  • i dnt get y your left hand's finger nails are black or purple

  • its probably not his hand

  • Oh how I hope you get hit by a on coming car of truck. This is the perfect way to brick your console. Same a shame gamers are always out to hurt other gamers.

  • vacuum cleaner and a can of compressed air, wtf is so hard about that? doing it this way will damage and kill your ps3 as well as void the warranty so its all on you if you wana buy another

  • LoL!!

    the PS3 sounds like a microwave xDD

  • is the auto clean

  • Read the discription! Only works for the Ps3 40GB

  • THANKS VERY MUCH. JUST SAVED ME £250

  • ive done that like 4 times and now its brocken

  • is not cleening ps3

  • hey i tryied it and my ps3 fucked up and i had to bougt slim

  • That is the best way to fuck up a ps3

  • @Spectrefromhell1 u suck

  • @Spectrefromhell1 really i just did it

  • @Spectrefromhell1 how will it fuck up ur ps3 if it is a fan to used to clean it out?

  • @RandomDude441 It Revs the RPM over its limits my brother did this ONCE and the Ps3 was never the same again it overheated quickly it sounded like a chainsaw among other problems and for the rest of u quit hating on me for telling the fuckin truth deal with it

  • @Spectrefromhell1

    ok im sorry i never knew.

  • @Spectrefromhell1 why's that?

  • @Spectrefromhell1 you are right .

  • @Spectrefromhell1 This shitty system would fuck up if u even play it just like the shitty 360

  • @Spectrefromhell1 god damn you guys are stupid it's not just a fan test it's a full hardware test ffs the red light with three beeps means all test passes if you heard 5 long beeps then something is wrong, the fan spin fast for a long duration of time to make sure they don't fuck up at same time they do a short test of the processor's instruction set and super basic ram operation

  • that cleaning shit fucks your ps3

  • just wanna warn everyone right now do not do this instead of wasting time on this cleaning shit go jerk off to the Cod mw 2 disc

  • good way to brick a PS3

  • Yes i did this with my slim you must take the cable because the slim have no button

  • @2Gumble  what cabel???

  • Can the slim vision do this?

  • this over heats the system, even called sony customer support. It is very bad, rather use the small hose on the vacuum clean in the vents on the side.

  • i wouldnt use a vaccum cleaner that could pull something loose if the suction is strong enough go with one of those air blaster that you use to clear computer keyboards and other electronics

  • This feature forces an overheat of the PS3. It's not the best idea to do.

  • That's not an auto-clean feature but still.

  • if i just put a laser-clean disk into the drive, it work?

  • hell no. the brushes are too hard for the more sensitive bluray-lens ...

    hope you did it anyway, stupid -.-

  • I have 80 which I'm gonna format tomorrow lol, and it works on mine

  • tylerton clening ur lens is 1 of the easiest things to do

  • WHY DOES NO ONE DO A TUTORIAL FOR AN 80GB

  • It works on the 80GB version too. I tried it on mine (80GB USA version). Same procedure. Didn't break, as in after I let it finish I turned off the rear power switch, turned it back on, then powered on the PS3. Still works fine.

  • OMFG I AGREE D:

  • hey! u gonna wreck ur PS3 blv its bad feature. don't do it

  • SONY said to me that this feature is just taking out the disc if your disc is stuck inside. Its like the last resort to take out your stuck disc

  • tobad it cant clean ur lens :P !

  • shut the hell up ya r guin bout a fukin game system

  • i never have to clean my 360. well yeah but like twice a year and it still works amazing.

  • same with the ps3 2 years never cleaned and works better than the xbox 360 still.

  • I tried this with mine ( Even tho i know it could do damage in futer ) and when i started it up and lcicked eject exaccly like you did then mine bleeped 3 times and then no fans come on hmmm so its either something is rong or well i dunno if anyone has any sugestions send me a message or comment on profile

  • DOesnt work for 40 gig you probally have the 40 gig rite

  • no its the 60GB its dosent work on it only workds on the 40 and the 80 GB soo but mehh dosent work on the 60GB

  • Cette technique pète la Ps3 et est réservée uniquement au SAV...

    This " auto clean " breaks Ps3 and is only reserved for SAV...

    Don't do this!

  • You Are Jst A Complete Idiot Dat Means Overheating,,,And The Three Beeps Whyle The Light Is Red Means Error Wich Means Yurr Fucking Up Yurr PS3,,,,,,,,Daa Damage Shows Up Later Not Right After Yuhh Do Da Fan Test!

    kkidswaqq

  • he not an Idiot Yellow Light is over heating i tried this to nothing happen to my ps3 and its 9 months old 80gb

  • What a retarded comment. Why would Sony put in a future designed to clean and improve the performance of your PS3 ever do any harm to it?

    How the fuck can running the fans, which are designed to cool the system actually overheat the system? 3 Beeps mean force shutdown, which is because the PS3 isn't actually on when you do the test, so no bios or XMB, its a self timer sort of thing.

  • how to do this?

    mine is 40gb!

  • just put liquid cooling hehe

  • instead of making your ps3's fan work harder why not just wipe the dust off of it? or use one of those swiffer duster

  • how about the dust inside ya moron ......

  • what do you think the swiffer does ya moron havent you seen the comercials the attract dust and since its very feathery like it will go in the air vents and if you wipe dust off of it in the first place then you shouldnt have dust in it at all

  • dust is going to get in regardless.....the fans suck in air thus the dust in it ....unless you have one of those air purifiers that keeps the air in your house clean...... which i doubt

  • yea i know that it sucks in cold air and blows hot air but if your really concernd instead of making your ps3 work harder you could just use a vacume ( a weal one or on a low setting because i heard if its a strong one you might move around parts)

  • first of all your stupid, why the hell would you use a sqiffer duster, those things are just for surfaces and suck ass anyways, and second of all its called a vacuum ya moron, and i think it works better than a swiffer duster...

  • i'm gonna make this easy for you to read

    1) swiffer duster to go over the ps3 and vents

    2) use a VACUME not a VACUUM cause those dont exsist

    3) mind your own fucking buisness you retard piece of shit

  • its spelt VACUUM u idiot omg

  • maybe where your from its spelt like that but where i'm from we spell it my way so fuck off and respect how things are done in different parts of the world

  • vacuum

    google it

  • you google it too and then you'll see its spelt two different ways so fuck off

  • Actually its Vacuum..

  • i've already said this where i'm from we spell it vacume so i dont give a fuck how you spell it because i spell vacume if you dont like it fuck off

  • dude i have the 80gb and it works, its just the older 1s that dont have it, all of the 2008's do

  • what does the cleaning do?

  • someone told me about this method but i think it would damage ur ps3
