How to Remarry BD Drives To Other Consoles - PS3Hax Network

iDelete · 03-14-2011

Might not be useful for some of you, but it was for me.

A new team calling themselves Mega hiper ultra fantastico Team released details on how to use files to ’re-marry’ a BD drive.

Full tutorial:

1. It would appear that older 256meg nand Ps3's need to goto 2.30. Newer 16meg nand Ps3's should be fine from 3.15

2. Change your dongle to "Factory Service Mode"

3. Copy files from the folder downloaded above (the contents of the devusb folder) to the root of a blank usb stick

4. Copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP from 3.15 (or lower if your system can handle it) to the USB stick

5. Put the USB stick into the right side USB port on the PS3

6. Put the Dongle into any other port (furthest left is best)

7. Power off the PS3 using the power switch at the back

8. Turn the power back on

9. Press power then eject within .2 seconds

10. Wait until the PS3 turns off then press the power button on the front again.

11. The USB will now start to flash and do a "Drive Init" then install the PUP file.

12. The system will turn itself off again.

13. Power on and play a BluRay movie until the movie starts.

14. Remove Dongle and Usb Stick then insert "Exit Lv2diag" stick (aka Lv2diag file 2) into the same port it just was in the Ps3 (furthest to the right)

15. Press power to exit "Factory Service Mode"

16. Done......

I can't help but notice but you said this was useful to you. Can you confirm this as working? If so that would be sweet I have a spare drive but my control board was damaged on my 3.15 60 gig unit.

As I may have said, it worked for me. I do not know if it might work for you. I know this is quite hard to understand, but as soon as I get my HDPVR back, I will make a better video explaining this. For now, I will try to find a video on YouTube to show you the procedures. So yes, I can confirm this as working.

Awesome, this is the type of stuff I like to see. Empowering me the customer to be able to fix a defect not covered by the manufacturer on my old unit. I can imagine 3rd party drives becoming available to marry up soon too. GREAT STUFF. This is what we need more of and less of the "give me freezor piratez gamez yarrr".

FAKE! Camera trickery I tells you. JK, nice to seem some progress in the firmware/hardware interaction department. With recent events in Japan, I don't see too much hardware (replacement parts) coming out of there anytime soon. Not that Sony would be replacing drives anyways without your first born as payment...
