Post: PS3 Bricked E3 flasher
05-23-2016, 12:03 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So, I have PS3 slim model CECH 2001A it was send to me from a friend that attempt to downgrade the console with the E3 flasher but ran into some issues. First issue was when turn console on it shut off 5 sec later with red flashing lights along with 3 beeps. He doesn't have original dumps so, he attempt to solder a wire to the NOR_TRISTATE on the motherboard then to the SBE point.

But when he turn plug it up it didn't show no power, notice that wire wasn't quite connect to the NOR Tristate and SBE point. So, he send the console to me and I took a look at the motherboard and the NOR tristate point is damage and the silver solder point is gone and then one of the SBE point on motherboard is also gone their is like bubble up cloth on the NOR and SBE point. So is their another way to unbrick the console I read that you can Solder a wire from SBE point of e3 strip to the tristate point of the ps3 motherboard but how though if the NOR tristate point is solder point on the motherboard is gone?

This is picture of the PS3 Slim Model CECH 2001A Motherboard of the damages:

I've cleaned a few Motherboards before and i always use 99% Isopropyl Alcohol on a lint free rag. It should clean it all up and does not leave any residue and it also evaporates within seconds so there really is no harm it can do Smile

if its solder then very careful use of a dull tipped soldering iron if its crap, thermal paste, dust, residue extra, compoint cleaner or alcohol for cleaning and paper towels and Q tips(cotton bubs)
