Just done Vacuum out my PS3

I finaly did it because something stupid happened when my bro wa playing the DLC maps for MW2 the fan was working over time..And when I mean over time I mean over time..I got so mad that I told my friend what was going on and he told me to clean out the Fan area of the PS3 so I did and now I dont even hear the fan that much it works fine now:D.

I have a swiffer in my room all the time to keep the PS3 clean and I cover it up at night, so I don't have to worry about dust. :) (A big amount of it anyway, because dust always manages to make it in electronics somehow lol)

how to vaccum it? open the ps3 or vaccum from the vents? is it still normal for the ps3 to get HOT ?cuz thats the case with mine, and i vaccum the ventsBow-T_88

Vacuum the Vents it actually helps dont open it up.

As long as it helps my PS3 I'm good.

Do you vacuum all vents? Or which ones? Also is your system on standby when doing so, or completely turned off from the back when vacuuming? There is a lot of vents of the original PS3, so tell me whcih ones?PSPFAN14

Vacuum the vents while it's off.With power switch set to off.Then start at the back of the PS3 where is fan is.Also clean where th HDD goes but dont remove your HDD just vacuum out the dusty areas of the PS3.

Wish I took the time to read thee manual:cry:

if you don't have warranty for your PS3 anymore, you might as well just take it apart and dust from the inside.hazelnutman

Now why would some people do that..I rather have a professionalopen it up and do that..I also don't shops that say they can do that..Better if Sony handles their product.

Thats good for you.

I just took a fresh can of air to my PS3. Unbelievable how much dust was in there. There was literally a visible cloud. Thanks for reminding me that I forgot to clean it for a while.

And btw, its not hard to open the PS3. All your really doing is taking off the top cover, and not really moving anything sensitive around. But in all honesty, if youre not comfortable or sure about opening it, then dont. Dont let anyone push you into doing anything you dont want to do. A vacuum and a can of air will do you just fine. Leaving the system closed isnt going to make that much of a difference.
