Yep currently doing that as we speak. I'm flashing a patched version of the dump, it's almost done. Going to flip the switch after and see what happens.

It still "boots" although I can't be sure if that's what it's doing as I don't have a display nearby for now, but it does stay on yes. On the Dump Tool that I use, it's showing pretty much all sectors as red, there are only around 3 of them that are green.

Ok new issue now. I managed to flash my original backup and it seems to have gone well. Removed the wire and it still boots. Now when I go to take a new dump of the chip, and verify it with the Dump Tool, it says that it's bad. I had no error lights on the flasher, it went normal, but the actual...

I wouldn't say damaged, as when using the tristate point, it allows me to keep the PS3 on as intended. I have also double checked my work and the board is clean of impurities and/or any additional solder or flux residue.

Exactly, I think even if the dumps did end up to be different, it is still behaving oddly. It allows me to boot in PS3MODE, but when everything else is done and I'm trying to do a normal boot, it ends up shutting down as if it's still bricked. Obviously it's going to be hard for me to assure you...

I understand. This is not the case though, the system is bare, it only has the fan attached, and also the PSU of course. Nothing else is assembled at this stage. There should be no shortages anywhere, and nothing else is loose.

If you mean running each dump through the flash tool, both my original and current dump (which is supposed to be original) all come back ok (GREEN).

Yes, when I switch it to PS3MODE, it boots. It's only when I desolder the wire to complete the process, THEN when I boot again, it fails to boot.

Yes, if you're talking about the lights on the flasher indicating that the flash had been done correctly then yes. I did all of this during which the wire was attached to both GND and SBE. I used PS3 Flash Tool 4.53 for all my patching needs. Had my original genuine dump of my NOR, which I used...

Ok so admittedly I messed up the flashing process. I didn't have a vice at hand, and so I just used my fingers to apply full force to my E3 clip, then ended up letting go due to fatigue, corrupting the NOR in the process. No worries I thought, just need to reflash my original dump. Soldered a...
