PS3 won't start anymore

Hi guys!

I have purchased a PS3 Slim running rogero 4.30 2.05
Today I've replaced the HDD, following the tutorial on how to do this on rogero 4.30.

Here is the problem: After installing the downgrader-pup, my PS3 just shut off completely. (not even the red standby-led was on)
Now my console won't start anymore.

When I press the powerbutton once, I hear a short beep and the standby led goes on.
After pressing it a second time, there is another short beep and the led turns green, I can hear the hdd starting, and after 2-3 seconds the system just shuts down immediately.
(again, no standby led left, nothing)

There is no errorcode or beeping or blinking lights after starting the console.

I've tried removing/replacing the hdd, but nothing.

Any ideas? Is my PS3 gone?

Thanks for any tips in advance!

Edit: It's a CECH-2504B btw.

a bad update i think.
have you tried re-setting the display
unplug mains
plug mains back in
press and hold power button.
beep 1 ps3 turns on (keep pressing button) beep 2nd time (let go of power button)
in a few seconds you should get a picture.

if not then the ps3 needs hardware downgrading i would think.
do you have a flasher to do this yourself?

if your in the uk i can do it for you
if your in usa then @playerkp420 is your man.
but i doubt it can be fixed any other way.

Thanks for your answer!

I can't do a reset, because holding the button doesn't do anything, it just turns off.
Unplugging everything didn't change anything.

I made a quick video with my phone.
I can't post links here, so I hope it's ok if I just post the end of the youtube-url.

Unfortunately I don't live in the UK or US.
I'm from Austria. I don't suppose you know someone here too ?
