Bleed PS3 - Here's how
Few people know that the PS3 has a feature that allows you to bleed the console. So the fan is cleaned and the PS3 runs quieter and gets less warm. We show you how to perform the ventilation.
Bleed the PlayStation 3
- Turn off your PS3 using the power switch on the back.
- Place your finger on the eject button on the CD slot.
- Keep your finger on the button and switch the PS3 on again using the power switch.
- Now the ventilation starts. You can take your finger off the eject button. The fan runs at full speed for about 20 seconds. Dust is "blown" out of the fan.
- When bleeding is complete, the console will beep and a red light will come on.
- Switch the PS3 off and on again using the power switch. Then you can start it up as usual.
