its going to be 1 off 4 possibilities ( i hope)

1. the E3 came loose from the hdd's sata inside the hdd slot
fix by simply plugging back in and trying again

2. the E3 is shorting on the hdd cage it came supplied with
fix by removing the E3 and sit it on the top sponge inside the E3 box and cut the sponge the same size as the E3 board. then put this sponge into the hdd cage THEN sit the E3 in the cage then screw the E3 back in (the sponge is "sandwiched" between board and cage)

3. the connector on the E3 to the linker came loose
fix by clipping the linker onto the E3 and taping it down (or apply preasure with a clamp then hot glue the linker down)

4. the wires are shorting on the ps3's main board somewhere probbably where the wires are soldered to the teat points.
fix by either cutting the bottom shild around this area. then file the cut edge smooth (if you have it like this anyway then the cut edge could be cutting into a wire or afew wires) then put pleanty of insulation tape along the cut edge.

thanks
i would just put the contents of that folder onto your usb stick
including the QA flag .pkg's

i cannot remember if the QA flag needed the update in the root of the stick (not in any folders)
or in the folders like a normal update
i allways just dump the folder content onto my usb stick.

but make sure you are QA flagged this time by doing the button combo as described.
its so easy to turn QA flag back off by running the .pkg again.
so make sure its active.

it needs to be done just like the slim strip down i have.
with good hi-res pics

and while i remember a good shot of that ffc cable under the bdvd drive thats a pain to re-connect with fat fingers


if you can create a free account with imgur then the image quality wont get affected like it does on other image hosting sites

thanks for your help
