well apparently i bricked my ps3 and stuff. i did downgrade sucessfully and all. everything worked fine up till i tried to install my cobra cfw..... so i boot into recovery and then install the firmware and ps3 turns off. so i try turning on and then it turns off. so i figure less its bricked, not to mention the power button light keeps turning off and on. i do have a dump of my bios. so what do i have to do to unbrick ?

@stefelz your dump is ok. The wires you have to buy them.

u can use the wires from ide hard drive or any half inch thick wire,i used a wire from ide hard drive computer.

wires aint a big problem, if u have a spare usb cable, IDE cable strip it, those wires are between 22-28AWG, 28AWG finest(used for NAND) so either get a 22,24,26 AWG CABLE, check the spare one, its writed on the wire mantel(e.g 26AWG)

for Tristate/GND on the MB or Tristate to E3 SBE, u can use a fatter cable like22,24,26AWG, its all good and works fine


here's some crappy vid what u should do(tin the pad and solder the wire in place, also check youtube(progskeet vid's) those guys explain it to the letter and after it, test on some old motherboard etc..until ur confident enough to solder on the PS3

get an 12,15 watt iron with pencil point (Weller WM12 etc..)
some tippy
60/40solderwire(flux inside--rosin core), flux can be used but if using 60/40 rosin core, not required. (check image)


tin the pad



solder wire (tin the wire bfore hand)






Ur DUMP is OK, if it aint booting nomore, u must solder and flash the dump in flashfun, then ur console should be fixed

This project is getting way out of hand bt sadly i hav to do it since i want my ps3 back
