(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); My issue: SOFT BRICKED + NO DISPLAY

How the issue occurred: E3 FLASHED WITH VALID PATCHED DUMP (No errors)

I have tried to fix my issue with: FLASHING BACK WITH THE ORIGINAL DUMP BUT NO SUCCESS

******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
I am able to turn on the PS3 and it stays on but I can't go into recovery mode because holding down the button after the PS3 turns off once just turns it off. It doesn't go to the double beep to go to recovery mode.

I flashed a valid patched dump onto the PS3 (CHECKED and no errors or warnings) using the E3 flasher and the E3 flasher IS a genuine E3 flasher and not a fake E3 flasher - YES, I checked. I have used the PS3 flash tool 4.70, 4.50 and the latest one too and I have tried flashing the original backed up dump onto it but still no success in unbricking it. And I have done hours of research and even the German guy's method on YouTube hasn't worked to unbrick my PS3 (ultraNSC) which is what I followed to do another jailbreak.

Now, you may suggest soldering to the two points needed BUT my PS3 *DOES* stay TURNED ON I have watched videos of people just going into recovery mode and updating it but I have NO DISPLAY (tested the AV and HD ports) and can not even get the PS3 to do the double beeps to go into recovery mode.

I have jailbroken 1 PS3 successfully on 4.31 and I HAVE updated the E3 flasher with the multiconsole update from Samsung.
I really don't know what I am doing wrong or IF I am doing something wrong.

Any help is greatly appreciated by me and other users that may have had the same problem as me.

As you are a moderator, you probably see A LOT of users working/answering in specific areas.
Is there anyone you would have in mind that I could possibly pm that is likely to have the required knowledge to post here so to help solve the issue faster?

Do a barrel roll!
some ps3s get no display after being patched mate, you just gotta put it in safe mode, connect controller and go down to update blind then it should fix the display and install rogero downgrader :p

Thanks for the reply guys BUT my problem is that I can't actually go into recovery mode. I hold down the button. It goes off. I hold down the button the second time and no double beep. just power off.

Have you even heard of anything like that before!?
