Trouble dumping my NOR chip, please help!

Hi guys! I've got an E3 installed and I'm having trouble creating my dumps with it. I'm following Bailey's guide (http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php...785#post387785) and I'm up to the dump stage. The LEDs all flash in the right order (three times, presumably because it's doing three dumps) and that all proceeds with no errors on the board but when I connect it to my PC I have a bit of trouble. I get bkpps30.bin, bkpps31.bin and bkpps32.bin alongside e3flasher.log (this guide says it should be e3flasher.txt???), the log says my dump is all OK and there are no errors in there.

The trouble starts when I get to flowrebuilder. I select Byte reverse and EXTRACT a NOR dump file, select one of my dumps and hit execute operation and an error screen pops up saying:

OPERATION COMPLETED WITH ERRORS!
Could not successfully extract all Dump files because an error occured. Part of files has been extracted here: (and then it lists the bkpps30.swap.ext folder)

And when I check that folder it's empty. It still created the bkpps30.swap.bin file. Does anyone know where I might be going wrong? I've been trying to google it for the last hour with no success and it's driving me insane!

Additional details: It's a CECH-2002B Slim on 4.30 OFW and my PC is running Win7 64-bit. I've uploaded my most recent dump to mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?a7dpdbgr3ddj5fm

Thank you very much for any help

YOUR DUMP IS NOT VALID

That's why you are having troubles while extracting your dump.

Any ideas what's causing it to be invalid though? I'm sure I'm doing everything right.

if you're using a nor clip it is more than likely not seated correctly. try to make sure the clip matches the chip and is seated properly. also make sure you have enough pressure on top of the clip I have seen some users on here using clamps. do you have it taped down?

No, but I might have been eating a bit too much thai food lately
The lord definitely disagreed with that
And decided to smite my sacred toilet session... Seriously, I love going to the toilet and taking a dump. There is no other time during the day, at which you can find the same serenity. I cannot think of ANY other moment, except maybe when you take a bath, where you really truly reflect over things in life to such an extent.

Geez, you really need THAT much pressure on it huh? The first time I got it on there it didn't work at all so I took it apart and pushed down as hard as I can and since then I've been getting lights on my board and everything so I thought that'd do it.

I'm gonna give the dump one more try before I pull it all apart for a third time, I picked up a smaller MicroSD card (just in case 16gb was too much for the board to handle).

Okay, we're in business! I reseated the clip and taped a couple of coins to the top and just successfully extracted my first dump. Thank you donkey-punch, I was absolutely sure I had the clip on tight enough haha
