I wanted to add some more info for this exact usage of E3 Flasher (unbricking a PS3 bricked by an unsuccessful PS3Xploit/BGToolset flash) - the information available on the internet for this is not very structured and is confusing to new people, like me. Anyway, here's my experience using E3...

Thanks, this looks very useful. How is the PIC chip programmed in this case? Is there some cheap SOIC programmer as an alternative to the K150?

Hi, I wanted to post in my tutorial thread, but I'm seeing "(You have insufficient privileges to reply here.)" https://www.psx-place.com/threads/installing-matrix-pic-fix-for-ps2-in-2023.41308/ As I understand some restrictions have been placed on new accounts, but I have a 2 year old account...

It probably just takes a bit more time for the internals to warm up and hit some threshold to enable the fan, than on earlier version of the console

Hi everyone, has anyone done research on this? I'm asking mostly out of curiosity, since that's the only thing missing from 50000 to make it the "perfect" PS2 model IMO. Do the motherboards for 50000 and newer PS2s still have the required traces to solder the connector back in? Or even better...

Do you mean 5 seconds after pressing the power button? If yes, my 50003 does the same thing. Why would you worry about it?

This is not really a full tutorial, it's more about compilation of existing knowledge, which is becoming really hard to find on the internet. The problem is that, scratched original or burned discs can kill the laser for some PS2 revisions (all 50k and some 70k). I won't write any more on this...
