There are signs of impending playstation death
1 constant ps3 crashes in all games played
2 Hairdryer mode, playstation no longer it's quiet self
3 BluRay malfunctions not reading discs etc
Allow these errors to persist and they can cause a number of different hardware problems.
Some of these problems can be headed off by simple maintainence that will require you to remove the warrauntee sticker either to clean out a dust choked power supply or heatsink, to re apply thermal paste to the cpu and gpu.
Thermal paste drys up after about two years of use, this is the primary cause of most ps3 death, the irrepairable damage to the gpu and cpu caused by an in-ability to shunt heat to the heatsink because of dried up thermal paste.
