I tried powering it on by inserting a disc.....BAM! HOLY $*** it WORKS!! Thanks a lot for helping me power this on!! Now I have to read up on how to apply 3 Musketeers patch!

If you are using e3 flasher, follow the guide below. When you get to Chapter 2, choose METHOD 1.

i'm still confused...lol , @katsuru told me the power/eject board need to be connected and this was confirmed by smTT.

btw this was for the 3000 serie, katsuru was probably talking about the 21xx one.

Weird, my CECH21xx does not start without the board plugged in, I will take this in mind the next time I do a slim ps3, I will keep trying to turn them on without the board, and see how different consoles react to it. I know mine does not start :o

The 3K series with it's 6pin power/eject board ribbon cable unplugged also works fine. I don't have a 21*** with SUR-001 mainboard so cannot test that one myself

lol, all my work for nothing, so there's no secret, these models will work fine without the board.

@d2damax , if you ever want to fix your ps3 here's the pinout.

HSW-001 diagram

the red and green led i can't tell if i'm correct, i don't have the physical board to test it, but for the rest it should be accurate.
