    My ps3 keeps switching off a few seconds after turning on. It just switches off and the red button on the ps3 just starts flashing :confused:

    Could it be the power cable?

    Are you sure it's not overheating? Make sure the back fan is atleast 4 inches away from anything.

    Is the light pulsing red when it turns off and it makes three consecutive bleeps as it turns off. Power issue or fan issue usually. Have you ever opened it up? sometimes the fan stops working or sometimes it gets filled up with dust and clogged > overheats > turns off.

    What is the best way to clean the fan?

    either compressed air cans or in most cases opening the thing itself. You can find tutorials how to do so on youtube but be gentle with it and bear in mind it voids the warranty on the ps3 if you have one.
