PS3 Image Issue

Hello, I have a really, really annoying problem with my PS3. A few days ago, I was playing Skate 3 calmly when suddenly, the image completely glitched, there are lots and lots of kind of breaks in the middle of the screen. However, the game continues normally and this bug only occurs during gameplay, meaning that when I'm in the PS3 menu, in a game's menu, or even when I pause, the bug doesn't appear.
I tried changing the source (HDMI ---> Scart), changing TVs, reformatting my console... but nothing works. I don't know if a part has failed or what, it's super weird, and I really need help, please!!

    Hello

    Is it possible for the console to overheat?

    Have you ever cleaned it? If you haven't:
    Remove the disc, unplug the console, hold the eject button down, and plug the console back in; it will make a loud blowing noise.

    If it's in a more or less enclosed cabinet, try it in the open air.

    Hello,

    You can also try resetting the graphics card of your PS3. To do this, it's quite simple: press and hold the power button on your PlayStation for about ten seconds until you hear a beep, and then test it again like that.

      Try safe mode and restore your console

      You turn off the console, press on it again as if you were turning it on but stay, you hear the first beep, then 10 seconds later the second for the reset and then the last one that will show you the safe mode of the console

      Try formatting maybe, have you tried with another game to see if it does the same?

      So yeah, I've tried all that before, and now I just tried it with a new game (MW3) and it's not bugging! Very strange.

      Format the Skate 3 data and try again (user data + save).

      It's still not working... And it behaves differently depending on the games; sometimes it glitches more than others, and sometimes not at all!

    Hello,

    @RaceGame

    Have you ever done a cleanup? If you haven't:
    Remove the disc, unplug the console, hold the eject button, and plug the console back in; it will make a loud blowing noise.

    This technique is called the FAN TEST; it is not meant for cleaning the PS3, it is exclusively reserved for Sony support technicians to test temperatures and check the fan.

    @ThomaStevenson

    Have you simply tried changing your HDMI cable?

    Look at what we’ve done to the world, look at what we’re leaving to our kids.

    Yes, I have already tried this technique, and I haven't tried changing the HDMI cable, but I connected my console via SCART and the bug was still there.
    Is it possible that it comes from the lens?

    I didn’t ask you to redo the cleaning procedure given by Racegame :)

    Yes, it may come from your lens :)
