simple fix.. can of air! costs like $1, its a can of compressed air, you should use that on your ps3 and wii and 360 about every 6 months.. or whenever you feel like using it. its kind of a maintenance thing. |
That won't work, you see the way the PS3 is designed you'd just be pushing the dust out more evenly. The design is pretty good for airflow, but it also leaves it harder for dust to exit the system so it's also good for dust clogs. Once it's dusty it starts going. The only way to actually get the system clean(Can of air will only push some dust deeper in and spread some out more evenly in the PS3's design) would be to open it and use a can of air on it but that'd void your warranty too. Actually the correct answer is to use a HEPA rated vacuum cleaner, a HEPA rated air filter that does not put out Ozone, a commercial grade carpet or hardwood floors(thicker carpets hold more dust/filth), vacuum daily and buy a small tech vac to actually suck the loose air out of the system before it gets too heavy to do so. After all this... it'll still get dusty... period. and actually 6 months is too long to wait to try and blow out loose dust 1-4 weeks is better depending on many factors, floor, how often you clean, how many people live with you, type of heating your house has(forced air causes dust), how many windows are in the room and how often they're opened, do you steam clean upholstery etc. |
The dude said he had the PS3 since launch. So the 1 year warranty with Sony is done. He can open the PS3 now. |
What if they decide to later make it up to him, but then, because he opened it, it's voided and they won't touch it afterall? Something this ridiculous will definitely get resolved, so I wouldn't suggest opening it up. I wonder if this will take a class action lawsuit to resolve like the PS2 laser? We'll know in a few years I guess...
