**•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 または 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 または metal surface to allow decent heat conducting. あなた can also have four, equally high objects placed under each corner of your プレイステーション 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. あなた can use ANY materials except:
•Styrofoam/foam
•Regular Plastic
•Paper
•Splintered Wood
#NOTE#
Even though あなた can't use "regular plastic," あなた 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. あなた will also see one big strip of vents on the back near where the cables go.
If あなた look closely, あなた 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 あなた can either use a vacuum (on low suction) または just blow gently towards the vents to get rid of the dust. (Make sure あなた 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 あなた may have spent HUNDREDS of hours playing! (*cough* Skyrim *cough*) However, if あなた 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 プレイステーション Plus. #NOTE# あなた will need to pay at least $10-20 for a three 月 subscription. It is, however cheaper than buying a larger USB または External HDD.
3) Performing a "Full Backup" of the system to either a large enough USB または External HDD.
#NOTE# If you're using an External-HDD, it MUST be formatted to FAT32 または the PS3 will not recongnise it.
3# "Saving Hard-Drive 宇宙 On Your Console."
If you've noticed things slowing down, あなた may not have a lot of 宇宙 on your system HDD for your console to work and function properly. #NOTE# This may be もっと見る of an issue on a プレイステーション with a "smaller hard-drive." If あなた follow the steps below, あなた should be fine!
To Check how many GBs あなた have left on your console. Go to "Settings," "System Setting" & then open "System Information." It will 表示する あなた how many GBs あなた have used and how much 宇宙 あなた have left. e.g: 233/320GB. The number on the left will 表示する how many GBs あなた have left. If あなた don't have much, scroll across the XMB to "Game Data Utility" and 削除 any game's data that あなた aren't playing anymore/lately. Don't worry, Game data is only "install data," when あなた decide to play the game again あなた will just have to install again and your saves will not be affected. If あなた also want to copy & 削除 game saves, scroll down from "Game Data Utility" and select "Save Data Utility." If あなた have important saves, don't worry about them. Saves take up hardly any 宇宙 compared to "Game Data." If あなた want to free-up as much 宇宙 as possible, あなた can plug a USB into the PS3 and copy "non-copy-protected" saves to your thumb drive. That way あなた can 削除 them off of あなた system and just copy them back from the USB when あなた want to play them again. #NOTE# あなた can copy some "Game Data Utility" as well as "Save Data Utility" if あなた want to do both. If あなた send/receive a lot of messages from other players, scroll over to "Mesages," "Recieved Messages," press 三角形 and "delete messages." Do the same for "Sent Messages." This should free-up some KBs または even MBs if あなた use Messages often.
あなた should have enough hard-drive 宇宙 for あなた PS3 to work smoothly again!
