You stated earlier that modding the console IE jailbreaking is not your intention.

1.So have you downloaded the latest 3.56 Firmware from the official Sony website?

2.What program are you using for extracting the download? IE winrar, Winzip , 7-Zip?

3.What download manager are you using IE , FF?

4. Any previous problems downloading from the internet like corrupt files?

Just elimination process bud

[xblade]

ff to download and yeah have the us 3.56 on usb now and still the same

when i get it of sony i dont need to use 7 zip or anything, its allready the DAT file

[xblade]

99% again ffs

1. I take it there is no activity on the yellow HD led?
2. Its is 100% the correct firmware for your region?
3. You get the same with 3.55 & 3.50 Firmwares?

Just a thought Here,

Have you got a powered USB HDD (with a fat 32 partition on it) or USB powered HUB?

If so try the firmware on the usb HDD, see if that works or if you have the powered Hub plug your USB pen into it and try to load firmware from there through the powered Hub.

Your USB ports may not be getting enough power through them?

I'm just thinking out loud so don't know if it would work, but no harm in trying.

Ahh Valid point @AllyCoops could be dodgy usb ports, especially if they have been well used, the fine copper pins can wear over time causing bad connections

Dodgy usb ports wouldn't stop xblade updating by disk.
@xblade I just wanna ask a couple of questions ... Do you know how it got bricked?
Had it been opened before you got it? if so do you know why?

[AlanDogg]

Dodgy usb ports wouldn't stop xblade updating by disk.

It could if the ports have a short on the usb pins which could cause the motherboard to crash or become unstable. The console may also become unstable if there is an over heating issue which can cause hanging and eventually results in YLOD error. which may be the reason why you are mentioning if it has been opened before!

Sigh!!! yeah ok.


xblade forget about the questions if I were you I'll just stick it on eBay for spares or repair.

[AlanDogg]

Sigh!!! yeah ok.
