sounds like bad connections.
either clip doesnt have good contact or if you soldered then possible dead solder or a wire(s) incorrectly attached. so you will need to re-solder them all.
then do a new dump and compare it with your verified dump as a fast way to check your still getting good dumps.
then try flashing the patched one back again.
DONT DELETE THE FLASH. THIS WILL CREATE MORE PROBLEMS

you need to upload your pics again buddy

it isnt reading the ps3's nor
you need to clean the pins on the nor and inside the clip also the connector at the E3 board side

clean the clip etc
remove the shield
then try again
if you get the 10001100 error again then solder the tristate to sbc and use flashfun as i said yesterday

I Fixed the Images

But The Heat Sync thing i am not confident i need proper images with clean instructions or a video on the Slim to take that apart. and i still cannot understand or see what you see by taking those pads of where to put them and how the fan goes on in the end i need more pictures.

so far i could only get in the silver box frame.

i don't have clue how to put the PS3 together with out the Frame or only half of it. i need more guidance there.

and i need a secure way to keep pressure on the Heat-sync plates with Fan on so it doesn't give me that overheated issue

while keeping enough pressure on the clip without crushing it otherwise the PS3 won't turn on when there is to much pressure on the clip.

any ways i re-assembled the thing because i gave up the Clip and flasher are out...

and no point buying a ps3 on lower firmware since Christmas is close and postage is probably full.

flashing it my self is the only way ATM but i don't understand on what your trying to show me on how it is more open and more flexible on the clip. more space to fiddle with..
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
i really wanted this done. because on new years I'm alone with friends 1st time 4 me and i wonted to have a hacked console again...
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
I'm a complete hardware n00b

with software I'm an expert

the only way i am putting the clip back in is that some 1 could show how to assemble the PS3 only with half a frame with fans on and those Heat things on without the top half of the frame.

and a secure way to secure with clip without any type of glue.

I tried Tape
coin's trick - both 50 cents and 20 cent pieces, tried cardboard on top of clip then 50 cents then cardboard on top of that + tape

tried stacking 2 x 20 cents on with tape no luck

tried just cardboard - fail

tried with thumb and finger - fail

tried cardboard on other side of motherboard behind the NOR Chip still failed

and now i remember it i did clean out the dust still failed

to much pressure PS3 would not even start to loose the PS3 would overheat and turn off i just could not get it right spent 1 day tweaking no luck.
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
and if this is one you are talking about this is the Bottom Frame half with the Fan attached to it on the other side.



i would not have a clue how the squire things get removed with the paste on them.

and i cannot replace the thermal paste i don't have an new paste.

if it's on the top half of the frame i still would not have a clue and i do not have a picture of top half of the frame.

I think you may be right. the fan is connected but when I looked at the cpu, it has little to no thermal paste. Could this be the cause of the cut off issue? I do have some paste available. I was waiting til the downgrade and when I put everything back together before doing this.
