Mate solder it to your cable ribon and on MBO, what is your MBO?

I live in canada :S, i will try to do it myself anyway, thanks tho. Learned by my mistake, once i unbrick im good to go. i will make 3 dump compare 3 dump with my good one with the hex editor to see if they are valid and try again.

I wiill try again usng transparent tape nstead of electrical tape.

I checked some video on you tube and i don<t feel comfortable with soldering yet, i will try solderless and if it doesnt work, i will have to practice my solder ...


Also, is it possible that i got a YLOD that happend by coincidence at the same time i was flashing ? I didn't replace the thermal paste yet, was waiting after im done downgrading when i will take off the E3 flasher and rebuild my PS3. PS3 did not shut down itself tho but just wondering if it could be possible..

You will know, when you solder the wire and the PS3 does not stay on for flashing.

Good luck. and be careful.

It's not a YLOD i managed to do a solderless tristane => SBE and it stays on. Just got Bad cliping.. might need to buy another clip as i don't trust this one.

But its impossible do get the both side of the clip to get a contact... it's like it wasn't large enough or had a round shape under which i tried to shave i had alot of pressure with my finger but i don't wanna break it.

I unbricked my console using my original dump but when i start PS3 with all switches down it doesnt work.. did i need to patch my dump or something ?

What do you mean you unbricked, but it doesn't work?

If you unbricked it should boot to XMB.

Well i wired tristate to SBE, switch 1 up all other switch down, pressed start with original dump then when it was over i turned off ps3.

Turned all switch down, PS3 stays on but no signal.


Did i have to patch my original dump for it to work or something ?

BTW my tristate and SBE is still wired.

Ic checked the SD card on PC and i have a log and it says at the end

Program Nor OK.

Make a backup and compare it with the valid backup you flashed with HxD.

If it does not match, the clip still isn't on good enough.

More pressure and reflash valid dump.

I made a backup and it fails the first step after comparing the dump i just made with the valid one.

i will replace clip and reflash..


Can i break something if i add too much pressure to the clip ?

Yes, but you can put more pressure than you think. Just make sure it is even pressure.

What model is your PS3? Maybe I can give you a tip to what will keep the clip down good.

It's a CECH-20xx (DYN-001 boards).

When i put my clip on the Nor i can never hear a *click* sound it just doesn't fit good there i have a pretty good pressure there, almost 2 cent thick.

Maiby i will just buy another clip and see if it works.


At the moment, i am reflashing again after putting a big more pressure, cleaning the clip and the oposite of the ribbon, the E3 Board all with Isopropyl. If it doesnt work i think my clip is just not working properly, i understand that the clip can be hard to make it fit there but ive replaced the clip maiby 20-25 time maiby more i never really counted but ive been on this for almost 2 days and a couple hours on monday and thuesday.


************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
Ok, reflashing just worked i got a signal now, i will just downgrade quickly while the clip is good.
