PS3 Delided CECHA00 suddenly YLOD during firmware update?

[Mammoth128]

Hello.

So just wanna ask if something like this seems like a general failure that we usually see with ylod and it just so happened to occur when I was updating the firmware.

So I have a CEHCA00 that I delided and repasted back then and it worked fine with good temps and all, sitting around 60's.

I had it in storage for a year and decided to take it back out to play some ps2 games.

It had 4.8 rebug cfw installed on it, It booted up fine and I tested some ps2/ps1 discs to see that things still work, also temps were still good after sitting for a year.

I saw there was a 4.9 evilnat release and wanted to update, so I just inserted my usb and started the update process... as it was going through it suddenly the console turned off and seems to have YLOD now.

So yeah am I just that unlucky? lol. I guess I'll have to send it for repair sometime.

Unfortunately, an unexpected shutdown midway through the update resulted in a brick, which required a hardware flash to recover.

That's twice as much unlucky I guess.

I guess these things happen sometimes.

It is important to test stability before updating the firmware.
