Hi! I will use E3 Flasher with external power suppy (ATX PSU), do I need to connect the nor tristate to ground? or just the clip?

@BwE did u use a customized ATX power supply ? i tried to use an atx power supply 3.3v ~25A but what i know we must mod the power supply some how to feed the NOR ? please correct me if im wrong .. we must mod it so it would be a lablotory power supply ..

You need to turn it on like a pc does

Because of this problem i want to make a self powered e3 flasher so we can dump died consoles... Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk 2

anytime i had that problem it was because of the ribbon cable going to the eject board getting messed up... try and put a new ribbon cable in and theres a good chance it will stop that. if it is the ribbon cable then it should power on when you dont have the slims top on... even if it still doesent power on with the top off it could still be the ribbon cable...

I don't know why nobody else has the same results as me regarding slims.

I was able to dump it, but it was corrupt as hell.

Maybe I should restart my research into this.

I soldered regulator to my E3 dumping fails on ps3 NOR. I have a usb wall charger that states 5V - 2A using 1 usb from a 4 port. It powers it on but gives me 01101000 error. I also want to know if tristate must be soldered from board to E3 ribbon. I've dumped and downgraded with the E3 successfully using PS3 PSU, PS3 nor powering E3. Just trying to figure out how to dump, and downgrade dead PS3.

It seems I might of had a bad upgrade to 3.55. When i would turn on PS3 it gave a red screen with white writing in different languages saying System serious error. I started in recovery and flashed 3.55 original firmware. It completed 100% but when restarting, now i get system shutdown after 3 seconds, blinking red light.

It doesn't seem to be a thermal issue as i had copper shims on both CPU and GPU along with high quality thermal paste. This is a question that was asked about previously in this thread. May be this can help someone. If I get it working.

what regulator. it doesnt matter what your wall charger gives, its about the regulator.

regardless this method is not definitive. there are ways to do it, but this was only a test - and an incomplete one.

im not going to go into more detail in the future.

just read the debricking guide on ps3devwiki.com.

also copper shims are ****ing stupid.

Here's the regulator I used

MCP1825S-3302E/DB-ND
Regulator Topology Positive Fixed
Voltage - Output 3.3V
Voltage - Input Up to 6V
Voltage - Dropout (Typical) 0.21V @ 500mA
Number of Regulators 1
Current - Output 500mA (Min)
Current - Limit (Min) -
Operating Temperature -40°C ~ 125°C
Mounting Type Surface Mount
Package / Case TO-261-4, TO-261AA
Supplier Device Package SOT-223-3
Packaging Tube
Dynamic Catalog 3.1V to 3.3V

shims no good, how so?
better temp control alternative?
