This just happen to mines on Saturday, couldn't believe it. I just sat there for 15 minutes staring at my PS3. It would cost $180 to send it to Sony and have them fix it. There's a guy on youtube that has 3 videos of how to fix it. I followed the videos and took it apart, put it back together and it's working again

oh I know what video you're talking about. The thing is, like hellahiphop said, all of the fat ps3's are different in the inside. So you need to be careful what you do.

My ps3 (a first generation) is starting to run extremely loud. At first I thought it was just the heat but now its loud in the dead of winter (in CLEVELAND) so IDK whats really good. Honestly I been thinking bout gettin an Xbox for a while now so this aint exactly hurting me anymore

i think the only way is to open it up. i opened my 60GB and my cousin's 40GB and 60GB i was able to clean the heatsink fan and all the ports.

if your ps3 fat ever gives you the YLOD look up the blow dryer trick on youtube, it will give you enough time to boot you system to back up your saves on a usb or HD and to eject any stuck disk

If anyone does do the fix themselves, and it's successful, BACK UP YOUR DATA. It's a mixed bag on success rate, some keep on truckin forever, some get deaded the next day. It's a mixed bag. That guys three tutorial vidoes on youtube are awesome, he covers pretty much everything. Anyone with the latter released fat models might have to use there head a bit more because of a few layout changes but it's nothing a quick google search can't fix.
