a few hours, but dont risk it... u dont wanna wreck your ps3 theyre 2 kewl for that

The new Slim PS3 are very slow to overheat because of some of the changes to the hardware, but the never had a failure rate that would limit play to only a few hours. Sony would have to replace every machine under warranty that had failed. A link to the Wikipedia on the PS3 has been added under related links.

What is the process of the ps3 ylod?

will make it quick and simple. Ps3 overheats sometimes because its running fast and people dont clean the vents or store ps3 in closet or closed spaces where it overheats. When it overheats it melts the solder on the mother board which solders 2 different companants into single via solder bridge. Solution ?! you can pay ps3 people like 120$ to fix it for you but sometimes they send you brand new one and you loose your hard drive with all the saves. Better Solution ?! Do it your self all you need is a philips screw driver take ps3 apart and get to mother board you need soldering gun to unsolder that soldering bridge and it will work just fine. Step by step guidance is provided all over the web on youtube ect.


What to do when PS3 overheats?

Send it to Sony straight away cos if you don't they will ask why you waited so long and they wont give you a new one and make sure the game is out of the system when you turn it off cos it will be stuck in the system forever and all your saved data will be gone ( You will know if the ps3 system has overheated because you Will get a red-yellow flashing light )
