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