I downgraded my ps3 to 3.55 and then made fast dual boot. Everything worked perfect. I played games on both sides. Then when i was on 3.55 cfw and ps3 was working, my 3.55 hdd removed from e-sata station accidentally (its my fault). I closed my ps3. I put 3.55 hdd to sata station, i opened ps3, it came to the main screen and then it closed suddenly with no power.

I unplugged power cable and then plug, red led comes, then try to open, green led of ps3 comes, no fan turns, no power on e3 flasher and about 30 secs, no red or green led again, it shuts off.

I removed e3 flasher and try it again, its same. I removed everything on motherboard (fan, hdd, bluray drive) and tried again, the same!

Also i realized that, brightness of red and green led of ps3 is less than its usual. It's really interesting also. Because of that I thought it may be a power supply failure, so i supplied my ps3 with an external suppy, it fails again!. the same!!

Another thing, when e3 flasher plugged on the system, at the shuting down moment (after 30 sec.), all e3 flasher leds comes and after half second they goes and ps3 shuts down.


So nothing to do and no hope. I think its an hardware problem.

Any ideas or suggestion would be good. Thanks everyone.

this may be a brick,if u have bios backup just try ubrick method and see if it works

which unbrick method can i try? there is no power on e3 flasher.

Try this.

to try "E3 debricking notes" on the link that you gave me, is there no need to power up e3 flasher? i'm not sure about that. but sure i will try that.

I have never tried the way in the "User experience" in that link.

But the first way I have and it works. Soldering the wire from sbe to pao/tristate will keep your ps3 on so you can use flash fun mode.

This is NOT a brick.
A brick means the hardware is functioning perfectly, but the software is corrupt. Unplugging the HDD accidentaly will not magically corrupt the data on the NOR flash. So it's obviously a hardware fault, most likely when the HDD was unplugged something burned from the extra power or something. Probably the E3 flasher since stuff that comes from Chinese companies tend to have lower quality components...

Two possibilities. Either your PS3, or your E3 flasher is busted.
It's not necessarily the PS3. You said you tested the PS3 without the E3 flasher installed, however fact remains you have a cut trace on the motherboard which means the PS3 cannot function without the E3 flasher unless you repair said trace. So you have to either repair the trace or try with another flasher.

EDIT : To check if the motherboard is busted, something that MIGHT work (however I'm not sure if it will, wait for confirmation), is soldering a wire between the A and B points. Since the trace you cut is between said points, maybe you can just bridge them without having to repair the trace, which would be easier to remove afterwards.
