Useful concept. Tough to enjoy, being that the entire video has gone out of focus. Or can it be that I’ve had one way too many beers? Dominga Burpee

My PS3 Slim makes random clicking sounds. Even when it’s not on. Only it kind of always is on because that red light is on. It seems to be the HDD. It makes random clicking sounds when it’s loading or writing. I guess that’s normal, but sometimes it’ll be turned off for like an hour. Then you’ll hear a random click sound. I think it’s alive. PS3 Slim doesn’t really make much noise other than that HDD sound I mentioned. That is until I played Uncharted 2 for 6hrs straight. Then the system got really hot and sounded like a vacuum cleaner. I turned it off for the rest of the day. It hasn’t done it since, but I then again I haven’t played a game that long again.

re: Brutuz

Hitachi bought the entire IBM HD setup.

It was cost cutting by a sub-sub contractor that destroyed IBM’s once mighty HD biz. The chip fab sub-contracted the resin for the chip packages from a company that cheated on the fire retardant so the plastic was not thermally stable. After many heating & cooling cycles, the chip would split where the legs entered and let in air which would cause all kinds of crazy behavior ranging from random errors to the heads gouging the platters. By the time IBM found the culprit, it was too late – nobody would buy their HDs any more.

Know your supply chain & use quality parts. They’re cheaper in the long run.
