How to Clean a Playstation 3 System

When dust enters a Playstation 3 console, this can seriously affect how the unit functions. Maintaining a PS3 is a simple process, thanks to the self-cleaning feature that Sony has installed on these units. When the self-cleaning mode is activated, the system fans work to remove dust and debris from the console. Performing this maintenance regularly will keep your PS3 console in better working order throughout its life.
