if you have an old computer you can take the cable from the internal speaker. but you can use any thickness you want.. its just used to bypass the startup and power the motherbord in the ps3

Dont loose it
My e3 flasher gets power from the nor så i think you should check the clip. Maby its broken or just loose like mine. I put a small object on top of the clip to make sure it stays down. And the fact that you got power to the flasher now point in that direction. My advise. Check the clip and put something on top of it to hold it down. And try again

Yes do have both 3.7 ofw bios and 3.55cfw bios, i had tried to flash ofw 3.55 after which i had got into trouble.
have loaded 3.55cfw bios backup on microsd card and put it on the e3 flasher.

everything looks good when the ps3 is powered up except after 3-5 seconds it gives beeps and shuts down, red flashing power light.

if you made a backup of 3.55 bios then have you flashed it with the nor patcher like it said in the tut ? that was my problem.... only way to start my ps3 was when i used the patched bios.... patch the 3.55 bios and try again
