Hey guys, I have an issue I was wondering if anyone could help me with. Everytime I turn on the PS3, there is a buzzing noise coming from the part under the buttons and the card readers. (it's a 60gb). I mean, that it's coming from the section where the air gets taken in from the front. I wanted to know if anyone else has this issue, and if it's normal and whatnot. I can only hear if i put my ear reaaaally close to that section of the PS3. I wasn't sure if it was normal, so I just needed an answer. It's always there even when I'm playing game, or even when it's just sitting in the XMB without a disc. It's there even when the fans are revved up. Thanks guys.

Theres a bee inside your playstation.

Time to buy an xbox.

yea. no.  If you don't have anything constructive to add to the post. GTFO idiot.

LOL, Breakfast.

On topic: My friend had a similar problem...a small piece of plastic had come loose inside his system (nothing critical, as it turned out) and was repeatedly hitting the fan. Eventually the fan spit it out. Maybe that's what wrong with yours. Try a little canned air in the vent.

Any other thoughts from PS3 owners?

You seem to be new here at N4G...you'll learn that Breakfast is our resident joker. He likes to ruffle feathers. So don't take him too seriously...which is why I responded with an LOL, rather than a reprimand.

That's not surprising; people who buy Microsoft products tend to get owned rather easily.

Yep...
 
Just by buying a 360 you should get a sticker on your forehead that says OWNED...

Back on topic, please. Let's not turn this into a flamefest. Someone has asked for help, so let's respond to that request and keep fanboyism out of it.

Alright, sorry, we were just kidding. Anyway, I suggest you call Sony or something.

This is no flame fest. Its just another day at n4g.

This panda is doing wonders for the fanboy in me. Usually, I just say "**** it", and lose.

Here's Sony's number: 800-345-7669. Hope that helps.

I doubt its serious...like you said, maybe loose parts.

you should usually unwrap and THEN plug it in-might work better that way.
