MightySkate Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 1. I use a soft cloth preferably the ones used for lcd tv's. 2. Gently wipe it otherwise the smallest pressure will scratch it. 3. Don't clean the vents but only the surface part of it. 4. I'm guessing you're asking the sd card slots. If it is, then #1 answers your question. 5. No. It's advisable to wait a good 30 mins or so before covering it. 6. You can't Although the latest SKU's seem to be have a mat finish which makes them scratch resistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 No. It's advisable to wait a good 30 mins or so before covering it. I cover the surface of my PS3 with a small piece of cloth after playin, leaving the sides open / well ventilated. is that wrong??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sameer Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 better to buy a skin (transparent or designer) for the PS3 to keep it sratch free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 love all the questions... but some of my exp.... i bought the console in Nov 2006 being one of the early adapters and i have NEVER covered the PS3 till date. Cleaned it from Inside once but that is pretty much irrelevant WHY...cos the black cover that you see on PS3 is just a slide through PLate there is more protection inside. The PSU and the Drive are all covered with aluminium cases inside... Scratches if you are sc ared get a Decal Gal skil but i have never thought about that too...Black is how it looks best... So basically all i want to say is just keep normal care of the console and nothing out of the world...It is a sturdy and well built machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad1tya Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 ^^ Does any1 use a Filter mesh, or something on the intake of the PS3, to keep out the dust?.. How dusty was your PS3's inside when you opened it up AtheK?.. Btw, If your concerned about your PS3 getting scratches... http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zt-49-en-70-24qf.html Also, found some Dust Filters on Play Asia as well.. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zt-49-en-70-2nvu.html Found some cute dust caps too http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zt-49-en-70-1ugo.html .. Worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sameer Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 buddy as Athek said there will be minimum dust inside PS3 as all the inside components are completely covered. And i think have the dust caps and the skin guard. but i dont think the dust filters will make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 How dusty was your PS3's inside when you opened it up AtheK?.. Not much Dude....and seriously guys dont be so tense just play and dont cover those vents those are required for heat to escape by doing that you will be doing more damage to your console then doing good to it... Just keep it the way it is....put a normal cloth over it after you are done playing if you are so protective about your PS3. But do that like after 15-20 mins of you have stopped playing.

trivisingh Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 No heavy duty maintenance for me....hehe....I just wipe the dust off it from time to time. I know that i should take more care of it since it is covered with a lot of scratches which are pretty visible on the shiny surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Scratches are inevitable i think. What ever precautions you take to clean it they become more and more prominent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
