this doesnt make your ps3 run smoother. this just intensifies the amount of dust brought in by the fan. think about it. your ps3 brings in dust and dirt because the fan is on and if you make the fan spin faster you get more dirt. FASTER FAN + DIRT = YOU CLEANING BECAUSE YOU THINK THIS FEATURE WORKS.
@KiddDoolittle That's why I have an air purifier in my room keeps it dust free well almost. And this is the ps3 fan test not an auto clean it send's it into a false overheat causing the ps3's fan's to spin at max speed.
Use a small office fan and point it to the front of the ps3. Put the fan on its low setting cycle and let it rotate. This will keep the ps3 cooler then anything you can do besides opening it up and cleaning it every 3 month's.
The fan test worked on my 80GB Fat PS3, but i still couldn't get rid of the Red blinking light problem. So i just kept my ps3 on without a disc in it and it didn't turn off! Anybody knows what's the problem in my ps3 ?
Edit: its only usefull to use if you have green dots and stripes on your screen or you got the green light but no video problems! Both are meaning your ps3 needs repair already and both COULD be caused by sticky dust on the graphics processor. In this case it could be used, because if you dont the ps3 is ready for mister mechanic already
LLOL, this function is merely to test if a overheating playstation still has a proper working fan, to remove a stuck disc from a ylod ps3 and if the isnt caused by a defective power supply!! It doesnt clean anything and it can actually break an already weakened ps3 due to the vibrations it causes
ps3 is pathetic, cooling system is so bad that it's actually funny.... got ps3 I hate it to fucking grave and I think am gonna get myself Xbox360- again.
ps3 or xbox 360 cant be cleaned out propperly without opening them fuck tards to drag any dust from inside itwould have to be some high powered hoover for sure infact i defy you to hoover it then open it up and not still pull a handfull of dust out hat a douche and for your info every ps3 will get ylod eventually if you dont keep therma pasting the gpu and cpu now and then like every year or two for example now go play nice shit brain : (
@grahamoutflying I still have my ps3 since release date. No thermal paste. No cleaning. Looking at these videos to see how I go about cleaning it. So far from what I have herd. Open top use Compressed air. Done.
I also dont want to be that guy, but I kind of understood some of the stuff you were talking about, but not everything since your grammar was kind of scattered here and there. You dont seem to understand the concept of ending you sentences right... Oh the irony.
[READ THIS] DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME BECAUSE IF YOU DO THIS IT WILL PREVENT A PS3 ERROR/ YLOD IF YOU GUYZ TRY IT YOU ARE A CULERO NEXT USE A LOW POWERED VACCUM WAT MY MANUAL SAID TO DO
You people don't have a fucking clue... Ok for example, i do a fan test on my ps3 when its cold. It wouldn't overheat the system in 10 seconds. And the flashing red light tells you the fan test is finished. But i wouldn't do a fan test everyday or once a week. Only do this roughly every 6 months. I had my ps3 well over 4 years now and no problems
you ass this is calld the fan test / emergancy eject wht this does is speeds your fan up and the 3 red flashes means the console is over heating its gonna b bout 3 or 4 months if that its gonna break i love play station y tha hell would you do that
@ calvinchoe100 Dude you know dust can build up over time and cause your system to overheat? You that by doing this test you are blowing out some of the dust inside the system? You know that this only cleans part of the problem? You know that this test doesn't do it any harm? He is not going to get a YLOD anytime soon. In fact your more likely to get YLOD by vacuum cleaning your PS3 as that can build up static electricity which can damage your system. If anything this is a safe way of cleaning.
@IntenseSoldier UR WRONG!! this test is called emergency eject and it is incase ur ps3 get YLOD and theres a disk inside. And your ps3 dosent mess up if u vacuum it, because if it would why would it say to do it so in the manual

I gotta love seing all your uneducated comments above and beneath this comment.
This fan test can clear out some of the dust that is inside your PS3 all it does is set the fan speed to 100% - The red blinking light shows that you need to turn of your ps3 to reset the fans back to normal. This does NOT damage your PS3 in anyway shape or form.
@jlucman24 Are you actually mentally retarded? This fan test DOES not make your PS3 overheat or wear down? Worst thing it does is cool down your ps3. Lol at your dumb brain.
View my channel for a STEP BY STEP guide on how you can FIX YOUR PS3 in less than an hour! WITHOUT the need for Heat Guns, Voiding your Warranty, or wasting any of your TIME or MONEY!
You dumbass. This Fan-test is for the technicians by Sony only for like the name says: Testing, not cleaning. Hope your PS3 Broke since this Video. IT IS NO HIDDEN FEATURE. Or don't you think theres a reason why its hidden? Idiot
you will find that is called the 'Fan Test' retard!! and if you search PS3 fan test error on youtube you will find that it generally fucks up by giving it YLOD!!
This is really helpfull coz it cleans out ur fan and deangpc u can turn off the overheat thing in the settings menu and ultimate sniper u can by a booster fan from argos or something like that :)
@doheby. Don't ever buy a cooling fan. I bought one from argos and it cooled it down but it sucked in loads of dust with it and fucked up the insides. It was just the dust in the air. But it wrecked it.
i put my 80 gig ps3 on a glass table lay down behind the glass table is my door and i leave it open when i play is it safe like and will it overheat plz answer it
Would this be a good way to test if the fan's are actually working? My ps3 60 gb shuts down on average after 2 hours of use. I get a clicking noise (sounds like internal fan) but no air change, just leaking hot air. in the last few minutes it stays on, then goes to the blinking red light, until i reset the power and let it rest a few more hours.
ok can some1 tell me my screen always goes staticky and shit is it my hd cable or my ps3 cuz i barley bought the ps3 and the cable i found on my dresser but it only does it every 1nce in a while
This is strange, When Im playing online the fan is allways like that, then The texture of the screen goes dodgy, I need to get a fan to stop it overheating, Anyone got any tips??

I suppose this is good for getting dust off the fans, but I doubt its strong enough to blow the dust out of the system... oh and YLOD can be fixed easily with a hairdryer
You are ignorant.Why only just few models do this? Have you ever wonder?

@IntenseSoldier how am i an idiot with 42 likes.all im saying that this dude is going to be shit boredless without his ps3 due to ylod? trust me some people care about their ps3 and unlike some peiople like this dude doign the how to clean ps3 is going to have serious problems with his ps3 in the future or now.

dud my ps3 is like fucked up cuz like my cotrole is doing everything by its self it goes all the wey to the right n its hard to move to the disc so i can play n i get online n in the game the guy is running like a retard with the screen over his head
This would not fuck up ur system if it will then why did they fuckin build it in the ps3 to fuck up your system I done this two times and nothing has happen to my ps3 and it would not do any damage
The reason the ps3 think its over heating because it the fan is running as fast as it can go there for the ps3 thinks its over heating its not really its nothing bad for it other wise it wouldn't be there
Easier way is just flipping the PS3, making the fans face down, and just do it for 10-20 seconds, with out overheating like this guy ..... i did it 2 times works nicely
or just fuckin go to wal mart and buy a compressed air thing for cleaning computers and blow all the dust out instead of destroying ur ps3 like this..
If your going to try and keep your ps3 or ps2 from over heating make sure the heat sink is not full of dust and debre and make sure that all vents is clear so that is can pass air thourgh, take it apart if you have too, and use a can of air to clean it out ya running the fan at high speed is not going to hurt it not one bit, just dont relay on the fan to push all of the build up dust and out because it will not work a little extra TLC will go a long way, trust me on this info i rebuild Them
when sony built this playstaion why the fuck would they put something on the console to purposely fuck up ur console...seriously..all the people who think that this way of cleaning ur system will make it fuck up...u are truely STUPID!
The stupidity of people amazes me. Do you think Sony would put this feature in, if it could damage your PS3? It's there for a reason. It's easy for a reason.
I don't get it. Do you people ever think outside the box? 3 Beeps mean an error OR a message. In this case it gives a message that the Fan Test (because that's what it is) has ended. Geez, people are so retarded.
This will void your warranty by doing this! Idiots put these videos up before they investigate the conseqences!!! If you dont want your PS3 to work properly then follow this idiots instructions!!!
@acidcharon how can it fucking be bad for ur ps3? its a fucking fan test which makes the fan go faster and take in more cold air SO HOW THE FUCK IS IT BAD?
@acidcharon u dumbass SONY even do the test before they box it all u do is unplug then plug the power cord back in its made to test the fan and blow all dust out of system.
@acidcharon no, this aint a hidden feature, the manual says so, and 3 lights mean it's powering down, not error, if not, sony wouldnt put that feature, and they wouldnt put it on the manual dude
please HELP me people, I have a PS3 for over a year, but I just yesterday bought an LCD TV (Sony Bravia 37 inches). I don't have HDMI cabel, picture on new TV is bad in games, (fuzzy images, trembling image). How can I fix it?
A lot of people seem be saying this is bad for the PS3 though.. like REALLY bad.. xD
Also, did anyone else notice that Sony did the same thing with PS2 and PS3, they had a switch on the back for the regular, and then removed it for the Slims. xD
If you want to know how to manually adjust the PS3's internal fan speed visit my website sudburymods > com. You can adjust the fan for max airflow and minimum noise and prevent overheating, YLOD etc.
This guy is more or less bust his PS3. To all of you who watched this. Dont do it. mostly everyone who commented had reasons so for an overall.. the red lights mean overheating, the fast fan is boosting the fan to go faster ' this should only happen automatically. its like pulling a door with a push sign. no reason to do it. and from the manual fan boost button it ruins the ps3 system. the best method is to take it all out by hand.. hoover or wipe it from the side vents. thank you for your time.
SO...did a bunch of dust get blown out the back of it or what exactly does this achieve? I've opened my PS3 and there were dust bunnies in there that could only be taken out by hand. No way could the fan push them out.
@jorfor1234 maybe your fan is not working properly...... second you should never try what this guy did..... is a self mechanism and is trigger automatically..... open your ps3 carefully and if you dont know what you doing then find someone or clean it from the outside..... Also try not to keep the back-side close to anything for example: the wall.... this will not let the air flow.... but it maybe the fan if you have warranty you should take it back....
this doesnt make your ps3 run smoother. this just intensifies the amount of dust brought in by the fan. think about it. your ps3 brings in dust and dirt because the fan is on and if you make the fan spin faster you get more dirt. FASTER FAN + DIRT = YOU CLEANING BECAUSE YOU THINK THIS FEATURE WORKS.

@calvinchoe100 Dude you know dust can build up over time and cause your system to overheat? You that by doing this test you are blowing out some of the dust inside the system? You know that this only cleans part of the problem? You know that this test doesn't do it any harm? He is not going to get a YLOD anytime soon. In fact your more likely to get YLOD by vacuum cleaning your PS3 as that can build up static electricity which can damage your system. If anything this is a safe way of cleaning.

IT IS SAFE .
Testing/cleaning your fan this way don't overheat your playstation ,
it is complete bullchit created by stupid fat kids on the internet .
But , if you over use it ( like twice a day ) you will have problem , ( because it actualy make the fan speed @ MAX during like 15sec)

If your going to try and keep your ps3 or ps2 from over heating make sure the heat sink is not full of dust and debre and make sure that all vents is clear so that is can pass air thourgh, take it apart if you have too, and use a can of air to clean it out ya running the fan at high speed is not going to hurt it not one bit, just dont relay on the fan to push all of the build up dust and out because it will not work a little extra TLC will go a long way, trust me on this info i rebuild Them

I don't get it. Do you people ever think outside the box? 3 Beeps mean an error OR a message. In this case it gives a message that the Fan Test (because that's what it is) has ended. Geez, people are so retarded.

If you want to know how to manually adjust the PS3's internal fan speed visit my website sudburymods > com. You can adjust the fan for max airflow and minimum noise and prevent overheating, YLOD etc.

This guy is more or less bust his PS3. To all of you who watched this. Dont do it. mostly everyone who commented had reasons so for an overall.. the red lights mean overheating, the fast fan is boosting the fan to go faster ' this should only happen automatically. its like pulling a door with a push sign. no reason to do it. and from the manual fan boost button it ruins the ps3 system. the best method is to take it all out by hand.. hoover or wipe it from the side vents. thank you for your time.
Sky71576 1 year ago
SO...did a bunch of dust get blown out the back of it or what exactly does this achieve? I've opened my PS3 and there were dust bunnies in there that could only be taken out by hand. No way could the fan push them out.

jorfor1234 1 year ago
@jorfor1234 maybe your fan is not working properly...... second you should never try what this guy did..... is a self mechanism and is trigger automatically..... open your ps3 carefully and if you dont know what you doing then find someone or clean it from the outside..... Also try not to keep the back-side close to anything for example: the wall.... this will not let the air flow.... but it maybe the fan if you have warranty you should take it back....
