My PS3 makes 3 beeping sounds when turn off?

Archive: 10 posts


I am going to let it rest for a week. I vacum the dust out of the vents and I put it in the PS3 box to let it rest for a week. Is that the right thing to do? Is it overheating are getting ready to die? Also I wiped out the HHD so it would be like a new ps3 and I vacum the dust out of the vents and its resting for a week. So I just want to know am I doing the right thing? 2011-09-18 20:16:00

If theres no brief glimpse of a yellow light followed by the red light flashing it should be fine, the 3 beeps go with any error on shutdown.2011-09-18 20:26:00

I usually hear the three beeps when the system crashes (ordinary crashes), when I shut it down while it is reading the HDD (loading a level or saving the game), and everytime I quit LBP2 since 1.06 (which is unusual).2011-09-19 01:24:00

These 3 beep shutdowns always happen after LBP2 1.06 update which makes me fear PS3 crashing down all of sudden..2011-09-19 08:09:00

Is that the right thing to do?

If you get three beeps when quitting a game (or shutting down when a game is running) it just means there's a bug in the game preventing it from exiting in a 'timely fashion', so the PS3 is doing a hard reset to compensate.

You can't really infer anything about the 'health' of the PS3's hardware from this.
