Hello everybody again,

At last I finished for the fat model video today (with detail). Yesterday and today took very much time. I have to join the videos, montage and add subtitles. They take the time too.

Please wait the news from me.

Ok so I finally been able to install the clip correctly...
What I done different this time is small modification of metal cover which goes on nor chip side of mainboard:

I've glued a small (can also be done with ducktape) piece of thick cardboard (4x2.5x0.5 cm) in the exact spot of metal cover which goes on top of clip and NOR chip. That way (after attaching metal cover) clip is constantly pressed onto NOR chip so it reduces chances to clip get loose. I also protected clip with ducktape.

Video proof of backuping PS3 BIOS onto TF card:

sorry for really dark video, I live in a cave.

My ps3 model is SLIM CECH-2004A.

You see lunex, i told you that it will work on your model :D
GG for the solution, another thing u can do is use double glued ducktape inside clip.

I've also an update from E3 who say that they tryning a soft-update for fat users whit spansion...so i'm not crazy :D there was a problem on fat + spansion

it won't work because in my mainboard clip needs to be PRESSED onto nor chip all the time to work and double glued ducktape won't provide that.

If its only spansion nor problem then software update will fix it :>

Yeah on meantime i did same on my console whit 2x piece of thick cardboard , this mean my clip is pressed as hell, but still i get the BIOS INIT FAIL.
And still i've only blue lights working...
