| WereKitten said: It's pretty much what I was saying: it shouldn't (in the sense of "it is desirable that it won't") overheat. But that's pretty much what the MS support desk says that actually happens, when they state that some of the consoles that end up in assistance (for serious failures, I assume) have had troubles with the laser diode and the fans malfunctioning due to the unstable power supply. I'm ready to chalk this up to a clueless support desk employee, of course. I was just underlining that the power brick being easily replaceable wouldn't make this any less of a design blunder, if it was true. |
Well im sure it wins on being cheap. So I wouldn't be surprised if the power brick itself cannot deal with nearly the same range of conditions a PSU from a PC can and im sure the PSU on the PS3 is also more capable although im not sure on its overall capabilities. But yes its probably just the clueless help desk operation. Im pretty sure he could say the same thing about carpet or home entertainment systems which are also quite common as well and you can find a corelation with any number of random factors in the home which mean nothing to system reliability/stability.
Tease.
