Water inside the console

My son smashed a snow globe recently and i think some water may have found its way into the console. When i turn it on, it sometimes switches itself straight back off or it tells me it needs to update and then switches itself back off. Prioe to this accident, it was working fine.

Was the PS3 running when it got water inside? If so, it's probably now dead.
Sorry it's not good news.

However, you could try stripping it down and putting the parts inside an airing cupboard, to see if that helps.

Where can I buy the snow product that are in Mr. Christmas snow globes?

home made Snow Globe Mixture.

A good ratio is 1 cup of water, 3 teaspoons glycerin, and 3 teaspoons glitter. Glycerin can be substituted for olive oil, vegetable oil, or baby oil. Adding more oil will make the glitter fall slower. Tighten the lid on jar and glue shut.

I have a snow globe that the water has turned a tea color. How should I go about opening it so I can change the water?

If you carefully remove the base, you may find a plug you can remove. Carefully remove that plug and refill the globe with DISTILLED water.

My 6 foot inflatable snow globe won't blow the snow inside,the fans and motor are working just fine it just wont blow the snow it just sits in the bottom...

Maybe the problem is condensation. The globe gets all fogged up and the snow pellets start sticking to the plastic and it just looks like a mess. Temperature might be less of a concern where you are, but it is something to consider. I had briefly thought of putting something like a hair dryer in line with the main fan to keep the inside temperature up. But it turned out to be more of a problem than I wanted to deal with. Good luck though!

The glass that holds the water and snow has broken,can this be repaired

If you have all the pieces, it can be repaired. the tricky part is getting it refilled and sealed. If the globe is glass, you can use any cyanoacrylate glue (crazy or super). If it is synthetic, it is important to get an adhesive that is compatible with the material of the globe.

PANDIGITAL DIGITAL PHOTO FRAME SNOW GLOBE

Once you have the box connected with the usb cable to the computer, you have to tilt it towards connect to pc. You might have to do this a couple of times the picture on the display should change to a usb cable. Now if you go to my computer you will see where it says pan digital. Here is where you can add the pictures. I just did add pictures. If you want the pictures in a certain order you will have to name them otherwise there are displayed in alphabetical order. I found this after I loaded everything and wanted them in a specific order. Right now I am trying to add sound. I see that there is a speaker but not sure how to add sound.

How much water do you think got into the tank? If the fuel door was closed it could not have been much. You need to have the tank drained to get all the water out, and then add a fuel dryer liquid to get any residual moisture out. After you son has done all of this, it should run fine and you should not have to replace the pump.
