2. PlayStation 3 or PS3 is a great gadget to own because it not
only gives you the pleasure of playing in it, but also has the
potential to perform other tasks like allowing you to watch

console can also suffer from various problems that you, as
owner, should know how to deal with.

3. Freezing
This is one of the most common problems on PlayStation 3
consoles. It is due to some issues within the system itself. The
simple solution is to push down the switch button. If it still
persists, reboot into safe mode and then try to use the options
you will see. You can also unplug all cables and place them
back into the slots. Loose cables can often cause the system to
freeze. If you have tried almost all the solutions and still the
freezing problem continues, the system would have to be
formatted. This means that the firmware needs to be
reinstalled. There may be some fragmentation issues that
cause the console to crash suddenly from normal operation.
Replacing the hard drive is also another possible solution.

4. Excessive heating
This problem is due to poor ventilation. Electronic devices
operate with the flow of electricity through each component
and therefore require good ventilation to prevent overheating.
The area where the PS3 is placed should allow the air to flow
properly. In addition, other gadgets that emit heat should be
placed away from the console. Overheating can also be caused
by hardware problems.

5. Red light error
This red light problem can be solved by pressing power from
standby mode. When doing so, you should see solid green
light. If the red light is not removed through this solution, turn
off the console and continue to press the button for about ten
seconds. Another option is to remove the hard drive from your
PS3. Disconnect the cables from your console so you can easily
and conveniently inspect the back of the gadget. You need to
open the case wrapping the drive you need to work on. When
the unit is already turned off, the cables must be reconnected
and the power switch must be turned on manually. Press and
hold the button until you hear two beeps. If this solution does
not work; then it's time to take it to the service centre.

6. Yellow light of death
This yellow light of death or the dreaded YLOD error on PS3 is
definitely the most annoying error found on the console. This
is an indication that there are serious problems with the
motherboard. It may be because a welded component was
broken. Welded joints are prone to cracking and breaking after
a long period of use. You may be able to solve the problem by
blowing hot air on the PS3 using a hair dryer or a hot air gun.
Do this after allowing the unit to cool for about ten minutes of
exposure to cold air. Hot air will help to heat the welds and
restore their partially molten state.
