(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So im buying(within the next hour) a phat model ps3 thats on 3.40... I hear there is so much to do with it when its on 3.41... but then hosting and everything when its on 3.55. Only problem is the blueray doesn't read games but ps3 has never been opened. So what should i upgrade to for wanting to run back up games and host lobbies and is there something to fix the blueray is blowing it out with some air doesn't help? Also would you mind with links to what i should jailbreak it with...(best one for what i want to do, was thinking kmeaw but idk)
Thanks

and how would i use the "blueray thing"

yopu have 2 download 2file n put them on a usb stick n follow the tut or you can just forget about using a blue ray because sony can see what you do if u go online

And i take it those files are in the exploits section?

probably but it was ages the links are probably dead 2

Ok...so since i cant play games till br gets fixed, is there a way i can transfer the modded patches(say mw3 lobby mods) to my updated ofw and use them? also i can update my 3.40 to 3.55 ofw then to cfw without bricking right? since the blueray doesnt read games not sure if thats a problem to update

Just use your PC to charge your controller. Make sure you turn on the controller 1st then plug it in.

First, you would need to open up the PS3 and find out what's wrong with the blu-ray drive. Because if it's the drive's logic board that's faulty, there's a chance that you may run into problems when upgrading your PS3's firmware or something. When you're upgrading a firmware, there's a check that checks if the Blu-Ray drive is working but if it can't read the blu-ray logic board, the firmware upgrade will become frozen.

So, if it's the logic board, then buy a new logic board and replace it with the dead one and then re-marry it by using a tool.

But if it's not the logic board, then can the blu-ray drive pull your game in and eject without any problem, but the blu-ray motor doesn't spin after a second or so? Then it's probably the blu-ray laser that's dead. In this case, there's no need to worry about future problems but I don't think all games can run discless. If you worry, then simply find out what's the version of your PS3 laser and buy a new laser (kinda expensive) that's the same version and then replace it.

I bought a 40gb PS3 very cheap that couldn't read games (same as you), I found out it was the laser. So, I replaced it with a new one and it's fixed. Worth it
