CpDude05 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Dang, that sucks. What type of ps3 did you have. 60, 40, 80? Also, how long have you had it? Quote
Neoblackhound Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Posted June 18, 2008 I had the 60 I got it before they stopped selling them and I had it for a year yesterday. Quote
Disciple74 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 This is one thing I will say sony is really good about. Getting your ps3 fixed and back to you within two weeks. I'm sure you will get yours back within two weeks. Quote

Malik4Play Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 10 minutes after reading this post, mine got the yellow light too. Right now, its in the fridge as i think I might have found a trick to save my over heated PS3 Quote
[*N*]Sal0713 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 i know a way to make the ps3 not overheat and die. Don't play it for more than 12 hours!! lol. Quote
Neoblackhound Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Posted June 18, 2008 Mines didn't over heat its a bad firmware download that fucks it up I looked up everything and yup pretty much gotta call sony in 7hrs to bitch at them about it. Quote
inadub Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 is there a new update? i have a 60gb.. i got mine pretty early in the scheme of the 60s.. i also have a Nyko External fan.. it was either buy the 1 year warranty for $80 or buy a $40 fan for life.. so far i am about 18 months into owning my ps3.. so i think i made the right choice ...

BigMoneyNacku Posted June 18, 2008 Report Staff Posted June 18, 2008 You gotta love how Karma works. Ask Earl aboot that! ;D I leave mine on ALL the time. If that fugger is gonna fail, it's gonna do it while it's still under warranty. Quote

Yes the update came out last night. Everyone is aware they made fans for the ps3. If you see one get it. Something that cost 30 bucks will keep your 500 dollar ps3 safe I say it's well worth it then. I got my ps3 back within 10 working days Quote
Prolog39 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Hard luck, man. They get it back to you fast, though. Quote

It always sags down and puts undue stress on my usb port. Quote

After it runs for about 10 minutes i forget it's on. Feel your ps3 without a fan on it and then feel it with the fan on there. There is a huge differents. Quote
inadub Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 i just searched on EBs site for my fan .. and they dont make it anymore?? i did find one that looks like the one i have .. sort of, however its alot more and has HDMI? here is the link.. http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=69118 mine does have a nice temperature sensor that turns the fan on and off .. however i found that after 3-5 min of it being on , it comes on and stays on till about 3-5 min after i shut the ps3 down.. there is a switch in the back .. however you do need to turn it on/off manually every time. So when you are doing playing ... you want to leave it on to let it finish cooling.. which sucks waiting ... i will continue to look and if i do find mine i will post a link.. Quote
