Prueba de ventilador / autolimpieza PlayStation 3 (original y delgada)

Dificultad

Muy fácil

Pasos

3

Tiempo Requerido

30 segundos - 1 minuto

Introducción

Presiona el botón y observa cómo vuelan los conejos de polvo. Esto no limpiará completamente el sistema. La suciedad o el polvo persistentes permanecerán en la placa base, el disipador de calor, etc. Realiza esta prueba cada 1 o 2 meses para garantizar la longevidad de tu dispositivo. La acumulación de suciedad y polvo es uno de los principales asesinos de los sistemas de videojuegos.

  1. NOTA: La vela solo está detrás de la PS3 con fines de demostración. NO pongas llamas abiertas al lado de tu consola. El video solo podía durar 30 segundos, por lo que ya tenía mi sistema desconectado cuando comencé a grabar para que el video tuviera la restricción de tiempo.

    • Primero, asegúrate de que tu unidad de disco esté vacía.

    • (Solo PS3 Fat) Apaga tu PS3 del modo de espera al mover el interruptor en la parte posterior del sistema, mantén presionado el botón de expulsión y luego vuelve a encender el interruptor.

    • (Solo PS3 Slim) Desenchufe el cable de alimentación del sistema, mantén presionado el botón de expulsión y luego vuelve a enchufar el cable.

    My ps3 super slim spins for half a second and then stops

    I did the steps but it did nothing at all

    Devin Vang -

    I cleaned it then did the self clean thing, and it did nothing the fan didn’t do it’s thing. Why???

    Devin Vang -

    This is great! It worked. It’s like half as loud now. I have a ps3 120gb slim

    Vince Craig -

    • Tu sistema se encenderá y en cuestión de segundos escucharás que el ventilador dentro de la PS3 comienza a girar a una velocidad mucho mayor de lo normal. Debería funcionar durante unos 15-20 segundos. En esta demostración, los ventiladores funcionan durante 16,96 segundos.

    • Cuando termine, la luz de encendido (roja) parpadeará (PS3 Fat) o estará completamente apagada (PS3 Slim)

    My fan isn't working anymore

    • (Solo PS3 Fat) Presiona el interruptor en la parte posterior de tu sistema para apagarlo y volver al modo de espera. ¡Ya terminaste!

    • (PS3 Slim) Desconecta el cable de alimentación y vuelve a enchufarlo. ¡Listo!

    • NOTA: Si no apagas/desconectas el sistema después de que el ventilador deja de girar, el sistema NO se encenderá. El sistema DEBE reiniciarse. ¡FELIZ JUEGO!

    Thanks a bunch. Mine only ran for about 10 seconds but the but the fan isn't loud anymore. :)

    Awesome! Happy to help :)

Doesn't work on superslim eject button just releases the tray not electrical

taipancorbett -

taipancorbett,

Thanks for informing me. Honestly, I've seen this done with the original and personally preformed it on the slim and assumed that it worked with the super slim as well. Looks like I made an ass out of myself. I'll make the corrections to the guide.

Navy Vet 2015 -

How can we do that on the super slim model? Or what the other option to do this self cleaning?

Tarek Jundi -

I'm afraid I don't know how to preform this test on the super slim. I would search youtube/web searches.

Navy Vet 2015 -

My ps3 will not self clean. I have the original system, and when I switch it back on, it just beeps, but the fan does not run

CJ Kramer -

It works on the slim! Just gotta unplug, hold, replug! Once its done as you said, unplug and replug!

Georgia Sproule -

Of course it does :) it just doesn't work on the SUPER slim (CECH-4000)

Tom -

These fans last long even after much abuse. I just never understood why my CECH-2501 makes 3 beeps during the beginning of the test whereas my CECH-2001 and CECH-2101 doesn't ?

Tom -

I've had my Ps3 for about 5 years, and I've just decided that I wanted to clean out the dust out of my systems to ensure they live longer. Do you recommend still doing this to clean my Ps3 after so many years of neglecting the dust?

Steven T (Archbreaker) -

Absolutely! It should easily remove any loose dust bunnies that are residing inside your system but it won't get the stubborn stuff. You will have to gut the console if you really want to clean it completely.

Navy Vet 2015 -

Furthermore, if you're interested in dust prevention within your systems I would highly recommend purchasing dust covers for them.

Foamy Lizard products are form fitting to the PS4/XB1. I prefer these to Digital Deck Covers but they don't make them for older systems. If you have older systems you want covered, i.e. X360/PS3 etc, defer to the second link. eBay also has a great selection of custom covers for various systems.

I’ve had my PS3 for 6 years and I haven’t done this before. Should I do this more than once to make sure it’s clean? I just did it right now and it was very loud and shaking like crazy, probably because of its old age. I’ve had this slim since release the only problems I’ve come to face with is me having to hold it up vertically so it could read discs, I was hoping this would change that.

Alex Orozco -

The fan ramps up at its maximum RPM so it's not uncommon for the systems noise level to increase during this process. However, my system has never rattled like you are describing. I wouldn't think preforming the test again would do any harm but if it's a real concern I'd recommend taking the system apart and cleaning it. The fan test will only remove loose dust/dirt/debris from the system. Anything that's been sitting in there for years will require a small amount of elbow grease to clean this filth.

You could try taking the top cover off, preforming the test and see if you can locate what might be causing the shaking.

Navy Vet 2015 -

I would recommend also that if like me you've had your ps3 for a good could of years and never got it cleaned you have the thermal paste inside the system (it regulates the heat factor to avoid system from over heating) checked and change if need be. I did and found that the thermal paste in my system had dried out due to to dust build up

kusa mata -

Our system will flash a message while in game play saying it's overheating then it shuts off shortly after but the odd thing is we won't even be paying it that long before it does that. Would this cleaning fix that or do you know what the problem could be that's causing it & how we can fix it ?

Brittney Bass -

Brittney, it’s hard to say if this will solve the problem. It’s possible your system needs more work than a cleaning. However, start with this tutorial. If it still overheats take the top lid off and hit it with a can or air to remove further debris. If cleaning the system doesn’t resolve your issue then I’d advise seeking help in another repair guide.

Navy Vet 2015 -

Was really helpful, thanks. I have a ps3 slim (or 2 for that matter. One broken one works). Anyways on the older one the red light goes out after this but on the new one it blinks for some reason. Dunno why but i thought it's funny so i shared it XD

Fluffyshade LP -

I did this and now my ps3 won't read discs can anyone help?

Micbel Fraser -

I'm afraid I haven't had this issue. Unsure what might have caused this. Have you attempted to open and investigate the problem?

Navy Vet 2015 -

there's no ejection button on my Slim

Tim Tolbert -

Then go find a replacement. You've got higher priorities before preforming this

Navy Vet 2015 -

This is fake I think because it's not working on my ps3 slim and I'm freaking out

xristoskiouftis -

That's a bold claim seeing as 28 others have marked that they have successfully followed these steps. 75k have viewed this page and while some can't get it to work, none have made the claim this is fake. If it was I'm quite sure ifixit would remove my post.

Navy Vet 2015 -

Has anybody figured out how to do this on the super slim model yet?? Been searching everywhere, no luck so far.

Miciah Bowker -

What if you forget to take out the disc?

Icius Zenith -

Pls need urgent help, my PS3 original is just flashing red light and stop immediately some minutes into game play can this solve it….or what can I do to stop it..I love it so much just couldn't loose it…..

Adex -

I have a fat backwards compatible PS3 the fan test and clean dose not work it just beeps 3 times and nothing just like when you check and there is no disk in what needs to be done? I am also having a problem during game play only with a disk it shuts down and flashes red any advice for that?

Donald Avery -

No one answered this question I have the original ps3 that also plays ps1 and 2 games. I've tried to run the self cleaning process and it just beeps at me with a flashing red light! What should I do?
