Oh **** ... wait a minute?

I turned on my PS3 by pressing the eject button. The fans start going insane, a green light appears, and then it turn to flashing red. I stare at it wide-eyed and terrified. I quickly grab the laptop, look it it up and scream because the impendin doom. I finally say what the hell and try to turn it on and off. It works!

So my question is, what the **** was that PS3?

I just cleaned it last week with duster, could it still do that?

What they said!

Wow just got mine yesterday (a slim) and I didn't know it had that feature...lol, I should spend more time reading the Manual.

think you may have made it do like a auto-fan turbo mode thing briefly. Just to blast all dust outGenTom

"She" did a fan test.

Will it do that everytime I turn it on now or just when I "test" it. How exactly did I end up testing it anyways.

With the PS3 on standby press and hold the eject button and you get the fan test. Apparently it's ok for all SKUs from the 40Gb onwards

Thanks for all of the help everyone. I am so releived!
