Clean out the Dust Inside your PS3

"It was confirmed By Sony On DLB's MYSPACE blog a while back that the fan tests Can infact Burn out the graphics chip"

Answer:

i never said it was good for it.. i know its bad... it causes your system to overheat.. forcing the fans to turn on high...

But if you only do it for 10 seconds and then shut it off.. nothing bad should happen..

**BUT DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK**..like i did

i know a way, unplug ur ps3 shake it all about, throw it out a window, go to get it back and then plug it back again. this has been approved to take out the dust by sony.

Sony said doing this may harm you system and it is not advisable, do it at your own risk guys

Thanks for the tip also. Forgot I have read this in the manual but forgot.

My PS3 was getting a lot loud as the fan was trying to keep the system cool so can only assume the heat sink(s) were full of dust bunnies!!XD quiet as a mouse now

Thanks again

@yellohwarrior Thanks for the handy tip. It turned out that that also did something else, it exploded! Glad to have war-marks on my face.

Thanks, Edwin.

@geniousdeeson you probably have to reset the system, if example you switch from scart, to hdmi. then you'll have to restart the system.
