Hi all, first post, so I might not adhere to all netiquettes, sorry in advance.
My PS3 slim, CECH-2004b, showed all the symptoms of a broken bluray laser. I got a new KES450-AAA and it still didn't work. Reopened again and thought, maybe that rails, on which the bluray laser rolls up and down, is a bit finicky. I rebent the clips which hold those rails inplace a bit, so they hold the rails in place a bit more firmly. Now it was working. So at this point I am not sure what repaired the PS3. A combi of new laser and reaffirm the rails, or just reaffirming the rails?
Well it least it work so all is well then? Well, to my surprise after reassembly I found the piece which is attached below. I know this is a longshot, but does anyone have a clue where this should go ?

i just spend the last few hours messing around with a 2001 that took about 5 minutes to overheat
after writing 3.55 patched nor back to motherboard and going into fsm with e3 dongle
then starting the 1st Lv2diag.self and Rogero_V3.7_PS3UPDAT.PUP process, i was watching and after a minute are so the hard drive light on the ps3 flashed just a few times and then ps3 beeped and shut down, i know the hard drive was suppose to flash alot longer than 1 second
after that ps3 shuts off in about 3 seconds, green, yellow, red, beep
i tried connecting tristate to ground just like i have done many times before but for the 1st time for me the tristate to ground did not make the ps3 stay on, i even resorted for the 1st time to solder from my e3 flasher cbe i think that was what it was called to tristate with flash fun switch up and that did not keep the ps3 on, i even found all my e3 flasher parts the sata cable to the e3 hard drive base that plugs into wall for power, i even tried the mini usb on the e3 flasher to see if that gave it power, but nothing worked, e3 flasher never acted like it was getting power for more than the 3 seconds it take for the ps3 to shut off
when i bought it off ebay like 2 years ago the listing said that the fan gets loud and then shuts off but it was cheap so i bought it
it was giving me e3 flasher errors codes that i had never seen before halfway thru writing 3.55 patched nor back 10001111 failed to erased twice then i tightened up the clamp a bit and the ps3 acted like that worked, and now time for fsm, e3 dongle turns red then blue then shut off ps3 i thought ever thing was finally going great with this ps3 but that is where it died in fsm while writing Rogero_V3.7 to the hard drive
at this point i have no hopes of it ever working again but i would find it interesting if any body else has even heard of something like this

I just bought a ps4, I don't have a controller yet when I turn on the console as expected I get the message asking me to plug my controller is there any way to skip this without a controller?
I saw someone skipping this screen on ps3 using the Arduino can the same be done for the ps4? if yes, is there a sketch available for Arduino or teensy?
Thanks

Hey guys, this is my first time downgrading a PS3. I have been browsing this forum and farming knowledge while waiting for all parts to arrive.
I decided to go with Teensy since it was cheaper. After struggling to solder the wires directly on NAND or alt points, I gave up and decided to go with offboard method. I have a SEM-001 board.
I'm using a TSOP48 programming socket adapter with wires soldered to Teensy. My wires are about 15-20 cm long and soldered nicely (signal booster method). I don't have a voltage regulator on Teensy since Windows complains an unknown device is connected if I have the regulator attached and 3V pads bridged. Instead, I'm powering the chip via CR2032 3V battery. Only CE is connected to GND on Teensy.
The first NAND is full of FF values, from top to bottom. The second one starts with FF, then 01, then 00, and again FF. Still decided to give it a shot, and FlowRebuilder said NAND0 has 0 bad blocks (impossible, doubt FF's are valid info) and NAND1 has 905 bad blocks. Dumped both NAND's a couple of times, with the same result.
What am I missing? Is it because the battery is not 3.3V? Or my NAND's are messed up? I also noticed that during dumping, it will at least stop once and stay at that byte for a few seconds. Also, sometimes if I rapidly request info from NANDway, it will sometimes say something like "only 8-bit supported" without recognizing the memory.
Tips? :bawling:

Please help me people ,
i have spent the last 2 days searching for solution with no success !!
i stuck in an update loop so i had to format my hdd
and so i did
and now its asking me to connect storage media that contains update data of version
9.99 or later . and then press START + SELECT buttons at the same time
and i did for 100%
so i tried :
i formatted my hdd from my pc again
its 100% FAT32
I am 100% sure it has no bad sectors
i named the update on my usb stick PS3UPDAT.PUP and i am 100% its inside PS3 > UPDATE > PS3UPDAT.PUP
i tried to name PS3UPDAT.PUP to UPDAT.PUP and i tried PSUPDAT.PUP
i tried multiable OFW and CFW still ps3 cant find any updates
i tried to update from Recovery mode still no chance
i tried another usb stick
i tried to format both usb sticks with tools to FAT32
and still no chance !!
please help
Edit: the only thing that gave me hope is that i tried to install MLT 3.55 noBD 9.99 (the latest firmware was on my ps3 before that happen) i can install any 9.99 downgrader
and finally the ps3 was able to find it but everytime it reachs 100% at preparing update data
the ps3 restarts like nothing happen and it asks me to insert usb with update higher than 9.99

Hi guys
Since my good old phat 60GB YLOD on me I am looking to buy a new model.
Because I live in Belgium/Europe I am looking for the European model (PAL & power) of PS3 slim
CECH-21xxB or CECH-25xxB that are on OFW 3.55 or some CFW already.
Also would prefer a seller in Europe to slim down on the shipping :)

Hi! I have PS3 slim CECH-2004A. I want to replace original HDD with a 500GB HDD and I don't want to brick or unjailbreak my PS3. I'm on Rebug 4.78 but I don't know what version it is DEX or CEX. On Rebug website latest version is Official – Rebug 4.81.2 – Cobra 7.5 – Toolbox 2.02.12 – Jan 10th. 2017. Can I install this latest version? DEX or CEX? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I got a simple question here: (Rebug 4.81.2 + the latest multiman)
So I want to transfer the game data and to force the games to install their initial data to he external hardrive. Got a 1tb external hard drive. It has 1 fat partition where I store the gane but I dont know how to force them to install their data there also. I tried game data hdd but when i launch it the HDD dosent change to usb. Also there is another weird thing I have splitted my hard on 5 parts. The multiman dosent detect the ntfs parts. When I toggle multiman into standart cfw mode [(not cobra)im not sure what is the difference] to to and then do the rescan it detects only one ntfs partition. On the other hand the showtime media center detects all partition all the time. I tried to boot into recovery and from there I formatted the disk and restored the table but without any success. Thanks in advance for the help.
Multiman - game options - ext game data turns everything in unrecognizeble format and I cant run anything.

Hey guys, i installed like 4 DLCs for a game and had it under the "aa" account when I was first starting out.
As we all know, you're suppose to delete that account then make a new one to activate rap files via ReactPSN.
The DLC was kinda hefty in size,
What I would like to know is where I can find it via file manager so I can delete it?
::EDIT::

Hey guys, brand new here. I successfully downgraded my PS3 Slim from a 4.xx OFW to Rogero 3.55 and installed multiman just yesterday. I am quite happy with my results so far, but I'm lost on what custom firmware is right for me. I have a large library of ps3 games from old to new that Ive been backing up and some have experienced problems booting which I resolved using some eboot fixes. However, seeing as there are CFWs of up to 4.80 it seems I'm curious as to if my work is needless. Furthermore, I would like to be able to use online for games such as LittleBigPlanet which I know I cannot do atm. Lastly, the PS2 games I had obtained from the PS Store are coming up as unsupported data and I feel a newer CFW could resolve this. The only thing stopping me from proceeding is my lack of knowledge and having seen a lot of posts of people remain on 3.55 which makes me believe there is a reason for doing so. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in enlightening me on what are the cost-benefits of my cfw and ones I should consider upgrading to.
What model number is your PS3?
CECH-2001A
Are you running CFW?
Yes
What CFW are you running?
3.55 Rogero
Is your console bricked?
No
Have you ever downgraded your console with hardware flashers? (Teensy, ProgSkeet, E3 Flasher, etc...)
E3 Flasher, just yesterday.
Have you tried searching the forum for someone experiencing the same problem before posting?
Yes, seem to be no guides on picking your cfw.
Describe your problem:
I want to know whether I should change my cfw and to what if I should.
What have you tried to do to resolve this issue yourself:
Google and forum searching different cfws and what they do.

I couldn't find this issue posted anywhere.
Using the latest (
1.46.00) and several previous releases of WebMan-MOD, the PS3_NET_Server.exe will not launch, but the command line utilities appear to work.
There is no error posted, nothing, I've also sucessfully installed Msvbvm50.exe.
This a relatively new and clean Windows 10 install (1 month old).
I was able to get my Windows 10 development box (I'd really prefer to have it working on my server though) to launch the GUI, which makes me think I'm missing a dependency - I'm guessing either .NET or Visual C++.
If anyone has any insight, that'd be greatly appreciated. I attempted to view the source for the GUI program to get an idea about dependencies, but was unable to find it in the
webMan-MOD repo
