Sorry to make a new damn thread for a stupid question like this, as the tittle asks any safe routes? A few programs only work for CEX and I would like to try to go back. I don't care much about DVD or Blu-Ray playback since I'm really trying to save the life of my laser.

If it would help, my PS3 Model is CECHA01. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.

Nevermind, I thought I had looked through and found no topics like this, Mods please delete this thread, I'm a dumbass for not have seeing these other threads:

Pardon for making the job harder, I used to be a SysOp back in the BBS days and I thought that was hard enough, cant imagine your hard work on an international scale. My bad once more.

I suggest that you stay in DEX. No point risking your NAND PS3. Unless you are extremely 100% sure + confident that you can do it! Plus you need a USB dongle.

you got the A-Model?

this one is the hardest... stay on DEX....

Mainly I need some instructions on how to de-hash NAND. already QA Extra flagged. Have PSP and TI-84 for FSM, Original Flash was from Rebug 3.55.2, but named different, gonna find a thread with proper naming style.

It's not important that I lose blu-ray or DVD (can re-marry) but I can be patient to wait, except occasional MultiMAN crashes, DEX does the job. Hope the new one fixes that. Plus I heard it causes more stress and heat generated. With the newest releases of games' I really don't need DEX.

Thank you all for at least responding and sharing advice before I did cause a brick. You guys saved my PS3 from certain doom.

No I am not sure about the date code as it never really concerned me before. Please point me to a thread that gives some info about the date code. Much obliged.

Care to explain?

Had to ask, not trying to be annoying.
