I have blue lights now, clear visible ones.
I booted into the XMB with all the switches already in their positions ready to update with the update.bin file
Like so: _ _ - - - -
I got no blue lights at all.
I then saw a video showing me something a little different, boot the PS3 to the XMB with all switches down at first. So I did that.
Like so: _ _ _ _ _ _
I NOW GOT BLUE LIGHTS, not still but flashing in the pattern of 1 3 5 7 then 2 4 6 8 etc. (Does that mean somethings happening? Are they meant to be still?)
From the XMB now with the blue lights flashing I made the necessary switch adjustment to do the update.
Like so: _ _ - - - -
I then turned off the PS3 after waiting like 20-30 secs.
Waiting 10-20 secs I turned the PS3 back on with the switches now in update position, and I got my original problem again...
NO BLUE LED's!
The video I am following to do the update e3 Flasher process:
