Hi all,

Some info on my system. I have a PS3 Phat, CECHK03 with DIA-002 MB

So, i ordered an E3 flasher and start donwgrade, but when i reflash a NOR, power at home just stop for 1 sec. And now ps3 is bricked.

When the PS3 turned back on, 3 beeps, red light, immediate shutdown.

So, i thought i could just reflash the ps3 with my backed up dump and soldered a wire from the trisate point on the mainboard to the BSE point on the E3 flasher ribbon, so the PS3 would stay on and i could perform the reflash. It doesn't work and i can't get the PS3 to stay on. I already tried resoldering the wire to the trisate a couple of times to see if it was a bad connection and i also tried different GND points for the other end of the wire. But it still didn't work and i am unable to get the PS3 to stay on to perform the reflash, it keeps giving me the 3 beeps, red light and immediate shutdown. Holding the powerbutton also doesn't work to get into recoverymode, and i can't get into service mode by pressing power and then the eject button either.

So, my questions:

-Any idea why the wire soldering trick isn't working?
-other tips, suggestions, methods?
-Any ideas, how to stay ps3 powered, or some way to power nor and E3 from outher source.

Solder a wire from Tristate to GND point on th ps3.

OK, i just try this way, but the result is same. ps3 power for few second, than red light and shut down

Then, your motherboard is shorting somewhere.

i checking everything. Put out mb outside , put some fans from pc for cooling and nothing. can stray alive... :@

If you ground the nor tristate and the ps3 does not stay on, then the problem is not from the flash.

You may need a reflow/reball. Or there is a short somewhere on the mobo. Look closely for any stray solder.
