@Mistawes beat me to the list of the boards.

How to unbrick from a DEX to CEX conversion

When it happens?
When doing a DEX to CEX conversion, when you're in 3.55 DEX firmware after flashing
the CEX EID0.NORBIN in Multiman CEX, you shutdown the ps3 and the PS3 won't boot anymore.
This problem is related to CEX CFW syscon hashes.

Brick sign
On boot, the ps3 console, after 5 "double beeps" very fast and turn off after 3 seconds

Preparation
- USB Dongle with the payload to go to factory mode (ex: E3 Card Reader)
- USB Pen formated as FAT32 (help if it have led status to check if its
working and ps3 is doing his stuff)
- 3.55 CEX Firmware PUP with prepatched lv1 (no syscon hash checks) (i used rogero v3.4 cex cfw)


Notes:
- Use always the right USB port (next to BD/power button/eject button) for the
USB Dongle and the USB PEN
- You will not have video output until step 10


On the computer
1. Format USB PEN and put lv2diag.self file 1 also put PS3UPDAT.PUP
in the root of the PEN (the 2 files must be in the root of the USB PEN and nothing else)


On the PS3
2. Switch off ps3 from power cord
3. Put the USB Dongle with service mode payload in the right usb port
4. Put power cord in the console
5. Press power button followed quickly with eject button, the console should boot,
and then reboot. (if the beeps continue it's normal)
6. Remove service dongle
7. Put the USB Pen with the 2 files inside in the right usb port
8. Power on the PS3. If all went well you shall see the ps3 reading
stuff in the usb pen, and the hard drive of ps3 working, wait for the console to power off.
9. Remove the USB PEN (you will have an UPDATER_LOG.TXT in the Pen with the details)
10. Power on the PS3
11. At this point you can check if the console boot up and its inside
factory mode (red square box in the bottom left of the screen)
12. Power off the PS3

On the computer
13. All you need now is to get out of Factory Mode, so put lv2diag.self
file 2 in a FAT32 blank USB Pen

On the PS3
14. Put the USB Pen in the right port with the file already on it
15. Power on (the console will power off automatically)
16. Power again and should be ok

If you're going to buy a flasher, you need to be prepared & patient. Flashing isn't easy if you have never soldered / opening PS3 to get to the motherboard before.

I don't, but I can just buy any one of those and it will relieve this problem? do you know the cheapest or best for like 15 bucks off the top of your head? if not i'll just look around.

ok i got a ps3break 1.2
i load the payload on there using the ps3break firmware updator
i switch the ps3 off
i put it in the 4th usb near the bluray
i switch the ps3 on
press power and then eject fast
light turns green, after a few seconds it beeps like it did before, and turns off
i put the usb with the pup and lv2diag.self in it but it just does the same thing
