Yo, I got a ps3 just sitting in my closet collecting dust, and the reason being is because it would shut off after 5 min. because it gets too hot. Is there an option somewhere so I can turn this auto-shutdown off? I could care less for this ps3, I just want my friend to have a cfw. It will probably melt by doing this, but fuck it, you know? I've heard this is possible, I just don't know how it's done. Thanks!
If you give us more information we might be able to help you better. Or you can try taking off the cover, turning the system on and see what isn't working.
But from what you've told us I'm thinking it might be a fan problem, either it not working correctly or at all. But it could be any number of reasons as well without looking at it or hearing it in person or in video.
