AFAIK SACD is only available in the CEX kernel, not DEX

0x1BADC0DE needs testing

one is for spinning the disc and the other one to move the lens up and dont the carriage. if the disc spins, that motor is fine, leave it alone the other motor and the limit switch can be tested by simply moving the lens all the way back to the outside of the disc, turn the console on and see...

Alright, if you did get to update that means your daughterboard is working. If you think it's a lens problem, remember the PS3 has 3 laser diodes, 1 blue laser for bluray, 1 infrared laser for CD and 1 red laser for DVD. If you can't get ANY of these types of media to read it could be: 1)...

Nope, you should get error 0x8002F14E, restart the console, and then try to update again. Rinse and repeat. You just f*ck3d yourself over by attempting to install OFW. Your console will not get out of the update loop unless you get a working bd board or you use a hardware flasher

If it doesn't work with any other hard drive you might have a problem with either the sata ports on the ps3 or the southbridge in the motherboard, although this last one is very, very rare. Have you checked if the 320GB HDD is being recognized on a pc? It will not show any files and windows will...

OP asked specifically about NON stealth modchips

If you try to update to OFW without or with a broken bd board you will get an update error and end up in an update loop, requiring either a functioning bd board or a hardware flasher to get it out

this is incorrect. the console boots but fails to update if the daughterboard is dead or disconnected, it also fails to launch apps and games from xmb directly to black screen, this is a sign the bd system isn't working

Yes, exactly. Either the main or the daughterboard. Don't wonrry, if you install nobd cfw you can use the console without a disc drive at all

maybe the daughterboard is dead? install no-bd cfw and remarry bd drive using the YLOD complete replacement, including daughterboard, guides to both things can be found in the forums EDIT: you don't need to remarry to launch hdd apps while using ofw, just a working bd daughterboard. so if you...

You can just use GSM or opl to set the video signal, you can force any mode

Ordered a freemcboot memory card on temu it seems not possible to do so without an already modded mc or a working drive

If you just use component cables it doesn't matter they both play the same on either console

nope, the flex cable is torn on the laser and the motor that drives the pickup up and down the disc is also dead, it needs a whole new assembly
