i did this b4, but i made some research they said this will spoil the ps3 faster... i forgot wats the reason...

somehow the fan test is most likely a diagnostic tool for Sony to test stuffs, anyway it's fine, it won't remove all dust, but it will help slightly; just don't do the one requiring you to flip your console upside down.that can spoil your system.

I got some info on this PS3 Fan Test they said it will worn out the lens quicker.

that is a just a fantest, and it was not intended to 'blow' the dust off.

you either vacuum the dust or take it piece by piece and clean it. doing that will kill the ps3. dont you guys notice how hot the thing is in a few secodns just by doing that? oh ya, sucks with no local warranty or support.

the another thing sucks is sony release recertified slim ps3 with only few month warranty or not even 1 day .

so if i'm a hardcore player then i shuld change the thermal often, btw how long ur ps3 last?

yeah tats i heard somewhere else.. tats y i dont do tat anymore except i being forced to do so...

i dont reli get wat u mean at this part...

means the factory still can build refurbished ps3 slim set just let go with no warranty whoever purchase.

Congratulations! My PS3 had three beeps of death earlier this month. I could still fire it up and managed to transfer all the data by using the Ethernet cable. Thank God! 4 hours++ was wasted for transferring approximately 250GB data.

owh i heard tat b4, btw i heard tat their refurbished ps3 still hav a lot of problem even in ps3 fat or slim... not worth to get it then...

=_=''' u sounds like... anyway ur is fat or slim? 250GB takes 4 hours ++ tat is quite fast, mine 160GB to another 160GB PS3 takes almost from midnight until evening... =_=''

I'm quite happy that the fat is dead...I'm not sure why but that's what I felt. Anyways, here's some pictures that I took when I transferred everything via Ethernet cable. A few presses of buttons here and there and...Hey! Hey! Hey! It's a success!

Notice the yellow coloured Ethernet cable?







4 hours 40 minutes...Zzzz.

wow u have so many games + HDTV + Altec Lansing speaker if i'm not mistaken... + another PS3 =_=''' or juz bought?, tat time i only hav 1 PS3 + limited edition... once it is YLOD i was like OMGWTF!!! Spend 1XXX like tat spoiled adi =_=''' btw how long does it last?

My first gen, first batch got YLOD... I couldnt be f***ed to do anything about it so I just got myself a new PS3 slim...

I bought the Slim after my fat buddy was sick. Actually the unit (original) can still be fired up. Some simple games, Bluray movies, songs, videos are playable on the fat buddy but when it comes to heavy power munching games, it'll beep three times and it automatically shuts down. If I'm not mistaken...2 years++ (nearing to 3 years).

It's not the latest picture...Here's the latest picture that I took. Bought a few games and a cooler pad. Bought an Urban Camoflage wireless controller yesterday and it was not included in the pictures below. LOLZ! Too many new things these couple of days.

owh ic at least ur fat buddy sick = half faulty mine instantly dead =_=''' anyway is around tat time lar, mine also around 2-3 years... damn sad... heart pain spend so much on this stupid console. btw wow Xbox360 as well =_=''' i only hav PS3... btw I saw Mariah Carey LOL~

ah MGS4, a game that everybody with ps3 has..

lol~ i played MGS4, but my cousin lend me to play tat... XD wanna buy 1 for collection

i still keep the dogtag
