PS3 has really loud humming sound, then shuts off.
Hi guys.
I just bought a second hand ps3 slim 500 gb cech 2008a.
Now, the first day I didn't notice much except that it was really dirty. Me being an ifixit fan, I proceed to open it up and clean out whatever I can. This was after I heard a really loud humming sound. After initial cleaning, it was okay for a while and then the humming sound started progressively getting louder. I tried the eject button method to remove any dirt that might have clogged near the fan outlet. Today, it just shut off all on its own while the humming got really loud. I'm a little worried.
I'm guessing it's the fan or the heat sink? I'm not sure. Any thoughts, people? Any help is much appreciated!!!
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

*Update*
The last time the PS3 was really heating up, I was playing Max Payne 3.
I'm now playing Metro - Last Light, and I've had NO heating issues. I'm going to finish this game and try out another one. Though it just seems weird to me that there would be issues from game to game.
Will update soon.

I had to redo the solder on he board of one of these, the one i did it on had a lousy fan and it overheated and shut off. Right before it shuts off how hot is it?

Hey Will.
I never really got around to touching it when it was hot. So I don't really know.
