Thread: PS3 Slim YLOD HELP!! Possible BRICK???

Hi,

So I have a problem. I have a ps3 120gb slim model CECH-2002A which was using Rogero CFW.
I wanted to put TrueBlue CFW to use with my TB dongle. Knowing I had to put OFW 3.55 back on first, and then update I proceeded to do this.

I put the slim into Recovery Mode, started the update process that way and let it do it's thing. Now I'm not 100% sure if this completed all the way, but as you know when you've finished installing firmware the unit is supposed to restart.
Well mine had just switched off.
I thought that was strange so I turned the unit on manually, then i get 3 beeps and my console is flashing red, resulting in RLOD. I thought this was really strange as I had used the same OFW pup file before on my 60gb model no problem.
I unplugged EVERYTHING from the console and left it overnight. Next morning I tried to power up the unit again.. green light.. on for 5, 6 seconds or so, this time flash of yellow then 3 beeps, then flashing red resulting in the dreaded YLOD.
Now I know for sure this is NOT an overheating issue, it has a fan mod installed and the CPU temperature is only between 40 - 44c, no way to cause YLOD from an overheating issue.
I'm thinking it's definitely from a bad flash, but because of of the ylod, the console doesn't stay on long enough for me to get into recovery or safe mode.
So my question is am i dealing with a potential brick here? Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated. I would love to solve this!
Cheers
Aaron
