How can I unbrick my PS3??? Hi everyone, I'm quite new in the PS3 world, so I don't know much of the stuff you guys control.

It was late when I saw that that version wasn't compatible with the procedure. I can't even access save mode. When I turn my PS3 on, it turns off 2 seconds after.

It doesn't matter if I'm pressing the power button or not, it finally turns off completely. The red led doesn't turn on anymore, like if it didn't have power supply. I just have two files from when my PS3 worked correctly: act. Can I create a dump to rapair my PS3 from those two files?

Both will halt the nor and keep the PS3 on for flashing. Now you need to try and get a valid backup. It is still possible even if you are bricked. Depends on what you did, and if the important info has been flashed over.

So to try and get some backups, keep switch 1 up, and put switch 3 up, the rest down. Reseat the clip and get it on good.

Or solder the e3 linker to know for sure you have a good connection. Validate your backup dump. Follow this guide to validate your dumps. I know that guide can be confusing, also look at this guide that helped me understand how to validate my dumps. Then you can get someone with experience to double check your dump here.

After you get a good enough backup, you can patch it with Rogero's Nor dump patcher. To patch it, put the bkpps3.
