(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have the e3 limited model. I went to downgrade a cech2001A model(120gb) (from OFW 4.25) and i did the backup process fine, no issue and backup was good. Then i did the restore process, fine no issue log was good. Then i went to do the downgrade and when i turned on the ps3(right after restore process) i had no output at all, tried av and hdmi and have nothing, not even a black screen just no output just like its turned off.
Does anyone have a clue why this happened and how to fix it? i mean i didnt even "flash" it yet and got this

The day before i did another ps3 same model with no problems at all so im clueless

It goes black then you put the dongle in and turn it back on.

So now do the downgrade ...


or try going back to 4.31 and try again, you screwed up somewhere, BRICK!! You better have a dump backup.

I cant go back to 4.31 because i have no video output!(no black screen either) it isnt brick because the system stays turned on and its not a black screen, if i had black screen it would be brick but its not
