**•How To Keep Your PS3 Slim In Pristine Condition!•**
1# "NEVER Let Your System Overheat!"
You'll know when it is overheating if it burns to touch it. The 3 main causes of PS3 heating are:
1) Leaving it on for a long period of time. (Especially on hot days)
2) Keeping it on carpet hoặc an inclosed area.
3) Dust build-up in vents.
Ways to prevent these problems are:
*Keeping the PS3 on either a polished wood, solid plastic hoặc metal surface to allow decent heat conducting. bạn can also have four, equally high objects placed under each corner of your Playstation so it has room to allow air-flow. Some of my favourite things to use are Glen 20 disinfectant can lids & children's building blocks. bạn can use ANY materials except:
•Styrofoam/foam
•Regular Plastic
•Paper
•Splintered Wood
#NOTE#
Even though bạn can't use "regular plastic," bạn can still use "solid plastic" as it conducts heat a lot better. (Glen 20 can lids)
*Now for the dust. To make sure there is no dust build up in your system, unplug it and carefully turn it upside-down and you'll see small vent holes all the way around the edges of the Slim. bạn will also see one big strip of vents on the back near where the cables go.
If bạn look closely, bạn may see dust clogging them. To effectively remove it, get a dry cloth and gently wipe the surface of the dust to loosen it. After that bạn can either use a vacuum (on low suction) hoặc just blow gently towards the vents to get rid of the dust. (Make sure bạn DO NOT have the vacuum on HIGH suction. It may DAMAGE COMPONENTS inside the system!) Also be careful if your going to "blow into the vents" because saliva may get inside and/or dust.
2# "Backup Your System Regularly!"
If your system unexpectedly fails, crashes and corrupts, all of your precious save files will be gone from games that bạn may have spent HUNDREDS of hours playing! (*cough* Skyrim *cough*) However, if bạn backup your PS3 regularly, this shouldn't be a problem!
There a three methods of backing up/copying content.
1) Copy "non-copy-protected" save files to USB.
2) Copy ALL save files to Playstation Plus. #NOTE# bạn will need to pay at least $10-20 for a three tháng subscription. It is, however cheaper than buying a larger USB hoặc External HDD.
3) Performing a "Full Backup" of the system to either a large enough USB hoặc External HDD.
#NOTE# If you're using an External-HDD, it MUST be formatted to FAT32 hoặc the PS3 will not recongnise it.
3# "Saving Hard-Drive không gian On Your Console."
If you've noticed things slowing down, bạn may not have a lot of không gian on your system HDD for your console to work and function properly. #NOTE# This may be thêm of an issue on a Playstation with a "smaller hard-drive." If bạn follow the steps below, bạn should be fine!
To Check how many GBs bạn have left on your console. Go to "Settings," "System Setting" & then open "System Information." It will hiển thị bạn how many GBs bạn have used and how much không gian bạn have left. e.g: 233/320GB. The number on the left will hiển thị how many GBs bạn have left. If bạn don't have much, scroll across the XMB to "Game Data Utility" and xóa any game's data that bạn aren't playing anymore/lately. Don't worry, Game data is only "install data," when bạn decide to play the game again bạn will just have to install again and your saves will not be affected. If bạn also want to copy & xóa game saves, scroll down from "Game Data Utility" and select "Save Data Utility." If bạn have important saves, don't worry about them. Saves take up hardly any không gian compared to "Game Data." If bạn want to free-up as much không gian as possible, bạn can plug a USB into the PS3 and copy "non-copy-protected" saves to your thumb drive. That way bạn can xóa them off of bạn system and just copy them back from the USB when bạn want to play them again. #NOTE# bạn can copy some "Game Data Utility" as well as "Save Data Utility" if bạn want to do both. If bạn send/receive a lot of messages from other players, scroll over to "Mesages," "Recieved Messages," press tam giác and "delete messages." Do the same for "Sent Messages." This should free-up some KBs hoặc even MBs if bạn use Messages often.
bạn should have enough hard-drive không gian for bạn PS3 to work smoothly again!
