Post: What is the best way to brick your PS3?
01-31-2011, 02:12 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey NGU, I have been looking through the forums on how to downgrade a PS3. I saw that you can brick it then unbrick it. But the ways listed below have not worked for me. Does anyone know a different way to brick it?

The ways that i have tried, but have not worked:

#1.)While INSTALLING, (Not download) Unplug the power cord from the PS3. This could take from 1 try to 10000 trys. It's all about what model PS3 you have. The older, the more easier.[CONFIRMED]
#2.)Use my Autobricker. (Works on 3.55 or below ONLY. Download link is below.) [CONFIRMED]
#3.)Create a backup, and while it is formatting, unplug your power cord from the PS3 console. This way is more easier then the FW update method. [UNCONFIRMED]
#4.)Restore your PS3, while it is restoring, yank that power cord. [CONFIRMED]
#5.)PS3 hard drive corrupt on you? Restore default settings and yank that power cord once again, and say "Hi" to that nice bricked screen of yours. [CONFIRMED]
#6.)Run a piece of corrupted homebrew. (Must be on 3.55 to install corupted homebrew) :P
#7.)Format your PS3, and while it's formatting, yank that power cord.[CONFIRMED]


Thanks in advance.

For some ps3s, it's just impossible to brick 'em, I mean like really, cause I've tried all those methods like hundreds of times, but the thing just wouldn't brick :O i gave up, and just decided to wait till a more suitable method was discovered.
