hey guys,

curious problem i had earlier

i was streaming advent children from my pc through the ps3 and the fan started blowing, really really hard, must have been full blast
the machine had only been on for about 20 minutes before this started happening, so i stripped it all down and gave it a good clean out
and again just now playing the hot pursuit demo the fan started yet again, really loud

i've googled the problem but everyone seems to think the fan should be blowing full blast my front room ambient is about 20 degrees,

i've had two ps3's now and this is the first time it's ever happened
FYI, it's an old fat ps3
had anyone got any suggestions on a fix?
 
oh great, thanks for that dutch guy, will go find me some guides :)

just to edit, console is fixed and seems to be working fine, gonna give it ten hours doing some folding to stress it and make sure it continues to work properly :)
