Last thing you want to do is Vacuum, the force can cause damage. You want to use Canned Air, hold it a few feet away and with short bursts you can get out anything not wanted.

yeah its happening again, but Sony just released a 4.11 OFW to fix this problem, I didn't see this now but I'm going to install now and let you know (I have yet to install), I assume they fixed it

PEOPLE its not the PS3 console problem, if your console worked perfectly fine before then it is the firmware problem only (updates can screw things up) and MOST PS3 USERS problems are the BETA firmware (4.10) so try updating to 4.11 through USB and try again
