Could mean clips not on the NOR property. That **** comes loose by 1/4 of a millimetre and it wont work.

Stupid chink design flaw

I just happen to be downgrading one like that now. Here is a pic of how the clip goes.

Nice man thanks, so are you just lightly bending the ribbon cable so that I can go out of the HDD bay or are you creasing it at the chip?

I try to lightly bend it. But I have done so many it gets a little bent up.

Just kinda coil it over and watch it as you put the board back on the heat sinks, carefully not to crush it.

Ahh okay I see. I appreciate your advice. If you don't mind, could you try to get a picture of the cable as you put the heat sinks back on so I can get an idea of how it should look? I can infer that you know what you're doing and I understand that this is a bit much to ask so your best try would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry it's already back together and e3 is uninstalled. There is a video around somewhere of it though.

hey @playerkp420 you think its safe if i use condor updater.pkg instead of holding power button to access recovery mode(after QA toggle)?

cuz i used it everytime i downgrade and just asking you if the method affected the console.

what if you downgraded your ps3 but forget to save the nor

then the ps3 brick, any hope to restore it?

hi,

depents on the NOR content, special if all unique "per console" (like bootloader, e.g.) are good, it can be maybe unbrick again.
