Oh and also one thing i really want an answer from is, Can i use this video to downgrade a ps3 cech-2001 because i might get that model. The ps3 will be on 4.70ofw and i want know if i can use that video on my cech-2001a but the motherboard chip will be diffrent place so i know that

Well i know nor chips dont require any soldering?

The easiest to downgrade are the 200 series as you can get to the chip a bit better, but theres not much in it.

The vid you posted looks to be a 250 series,the chip is slightly hidden in comparison to 200 series.

I took some pics for you of a 200 series i downgraded the other day, note the chip is more exposed than the 250 series in the vid.

I too followed Lib's video to learn how to downgrade consoles. And I have done about 20 or so with success everytime.

Really (in my opinion) they are all about the same to downgrade. I use a furniture clamp and some wooden shims for under the motherboard to hold down the Flasher ribbon. Good luck man and take care!
