(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I know my PS3 is bricked because I see a static screen and sometimes I get no output im just wondering sometimes for 5 minutes it will work, if I restored my PS3 would it work fine again and also if I didn't and took the hard drive out could I read my data on a computer using a hard drive reader?

There is no harm in restoring it but if you are wanting to read the data on a computer you are out of luck there is no way to do it without having the EID Root Key.

The EID root key is important to complete various task, some of these task include: DEX Conversions from CEX consoles, and also the viewing/copying of the PS3's Internal HDD, which will require the EID Root Key in conjunction with an app such as: nullptr's PS3 HDD Utility.

So unless you have that then I doubt that you will be able to read and especially write anything on the PS3 HDD on a computer.

But if I restore will it unbrick

Yes all you need to do is reinstall your CFW I had the same problem before or go back to 3.55 then you'll be all good.

Ok so reinstall PS3 4.50 ita
