Hi guys, how can I find a serial number in the bios dump, reason I ask is I have messed up all my bios dumps, and I have a black screen of death console here that I did ages ago and need to find the right bios dump for it.

Thanks

use HxD then CTRL + G type offset: 0003F090 in and click ok
its only a part of PS3 serial: xx-27438416-xxxxxxx

bytereversed you need to do first

you get what you ask! so if your PS3´s serial are starting with xx-72344702-xxxxxxxx all ok(never seen it so must be 2743...),
or you must byte reverse your dump before with flowrebuilder if its a bkpps.bin!
"Byte reverse and EXTRACT a NOR dump file."
if not its seems that your dump are bad!

next step are checking your dump´s and find it out, so easy it is!
oh, forget if this ps3 was flashed using this dupms for downgrade and you dont have a other good of this PS3 you have a permabrick PS3

reason are: pc cISD1 start offset: 0x03F060 end offset: 0x03F260 console 2nd part serial @ 0x3F090 size 0x8
pc= per console = unique data per PS3= unique like your finger print
