This must be what happened to mine . I think all the power cycles trying to get the flash exploit to work and install the cfw finally did it in.

Oh wow, you weren't joking? I can't imagine five or six times would destroy the system. Obviously it was on its last legs anyway.

Is it giving the yellow light of death?

Lets see if we can fix this

Yeah it's the ylod. There weren't any signs of it overheating while I was using it--the fan speed sounded normal for just browsing the xmb. I took the case off and cleaned a little bit of dust out but of course that didn't fix it. I'm thinking one of the chips just detached or possibly the hdd died? I tried booting it without the hdd but still get the ylod.

I was looking at fixes for solder problems and everything short of reballing the chips sounds temporary.

The PS4 was just hacked. You have to be on firmware 4.05, which is from a year ago, proving that my keeping consoles in a closet unused is NOT a mental illness

(I hosed up this time and never got a PS4 :sigh: )

i think $450 could easily pay for an original ps4 and all games older than a year old anyone would want to play on it

I am sad to be the bearer of this bad news but a mere week after it did not matter what firmware you were on, it began to matter what firmware you were on when Sony released firmware 4.82 for the Playstation 3™ home video game console.

Sony had not released a new firmware in over a year, with many speculating that 4.81 would be the last. But less than 176 hours after the hack was released, Sony unceremoniously released 4.82 to close out the loophole where it didn't matter what firmware you were on.

The good news however is that almost nobody is going to be on firmware 4.82. I can pretty confidently say that if you buy a Playstation 3 on eBay, it will most likely not matter what firmware it's on.

I think you can still downgrade from 4.82. The link you posted in the OP says you can.

I bought one of his 60gigs and put cfw on it. The new version of the flash exploit for 4.82 is even better since you can go straight to the cfw you want without installing ferrox first.

Isn't Ferrox a type of cfw? This stuff is confusing. I switched to Ferrox Cobra because webman is so much better but I find things refuse to load regularly
