Instructions for blind navigation of FSM.

[Error_404]

Recently it I've come across a few BC A models with varying problems, including BD drive issues. Putting REBUG 4.86.1 lite CFW with NoBD designation on the console then following the " MyAdventure" guide has help tremendously. Unfortunately I encountered a system that appears to have an issue with either the HDMI port (I tested it for shorts and found none, nor any damage), or the encoder. So it's only running A/V. What's happens is that when Factory Service Mode is toggled it will kindof boot FSM XMB but then it black screen, only it's only a video signal output issue, you can still give commands navigate the FSM XMB to either Remarry BD or exit FSM. If this happens to you on REBUG 4.86.1, try the following steps on black screens.

-right on keypad (kp) once
-up on kp three times
-x (enter)
-down on kp four times
-x
-down on kp four times
-x
-down on kp once, then x to leave FSM
Or
-down on kp twice then x (I spammed x) to remarry BD drive.
-up on kp once, then x to leave FSM

The console should turn off then back on to normal CFW XMB.

I noticed before that FSM automatically switches to a very low resolution, which might not be compatible with some TVs over AV. BUT higher resolutions work fine if you switch to them manually. So navigating to the display settings blindly might have also worked here.

Yeah I noticed that it's wasn't true black screen because when a rebooted the console it would intermittently display video, so I figured it was just some weird interaction with having a possibly dead encoder, but the resolution thing is likely.
