Hi guys and girls,
I am in the process of checking my dump file but when I try to extract the dump file in FlowRebuilder it is coming up with the error message extracted with errors.
When I check the .swap.ext dir it is empty but it has created the bkpps3.swap.bin in the main dir.

Any suggestion or advice would be highly appreciated thanks. I'm kinda stuck at the minute until I resolve this as I don't want to risk bricking the ps3.

The log from the backup shows everything OK.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Most likely means your dump is no good. check soldering or reseat clip and try again.

Log file saying OK. Backup PS3 BIOS OK. on the new dump.
but same prob again when i open flowrebuilder and Byte reverse and extract a nor dump file i still get operation completed with errors, could not succesfully extract all dump files because an error occured. Part of the files extracted here: d:\original dump bkpps3.swap.bin.ext

I checked the clip, e3 connection etc. all seem to be seated firmly.

Did you verify your dump ?

I am installing this on a ps3 fat system and just noticed that the e3 front face board hits the shell so i got out the leatherman and cut the shell away, it seems the tiny bit of pressure pushing the face out was enough to conflict the dump in a mild way, thanks for the help sometimes it takes a fresh mind not sitting in front of it. thanks again, verifying the dump now. will keep posted.

FlowRebuilder always give an false message. don't worry your dump is good just verifying it as MJ999 he's said.

FlowRebuilder still give my dump an error but i can reflash it again on my ps3 and good to go.

FlowRebuilder always give an false message.

riiiiight.......if flowrebuilder gives an error...it is bad....don't give false positives

Log file saying OK. Backup PS3 BIOS OK. on the new dump.

even when it reports back this and flowrebuilder extract with errors, reclip e3

Thanks for the help, i checked all the components of the e3 and it was the faceboard that was causing the problem due to it not be able to seat properly because of the ps3 case itself, little help with a dremmel and a leatherman fixed that. Dumps now extract withput errors and statistics are in range, and as far as I can tell they are valid.
Just waiting on a second opinion now with my dump then i'll get into it.

Thanks again.
