Regarding pressure, it all depends on how many times you have tried to clip it. The more you clip onto the NOR the weaker its pins get, it will no longer make that click sound and it won't stay on its own.  
Regarding pressure, it all depends on how many times you have tried to clip it. The more you clip onto the NOR the weaker its pins get, it will no longer make that click sound and it won't stay on its own.  
If you are after a permanent install you should put some foam or something squeezable on top of the NOR chip (roughly 2-3cm tall that can compress to 1-1.5cm) and reassemble the PS3 (Which causes pressure on the NOR). If you do not care for a permanent install try using a clamp, clip or vice as seen in this [https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/File:gECpD.jpg image].

Once you have got a successful read you shouldn't start assuming its error free. Check the dump you have and if it appears valid you should not be touching your clip again (to prevent any bricking when downgrading).

'''[[Recommendation: use]]<span style="white; color:red;"> [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/flash/Tools/Flowrebuilder/ Flowrebuilder] instead and common sense like mentioned on [[Hardware_flashing#Generic_Warning|Hardware flashing]] page.'''
====== Added 22 nov 2011 ======
  ''New E3 flasher update released, it will backup bios 3 times automatically.
  We suggest user verify those bios with E3 Nor dump checker, to assure the backup bios is no erro.''
'''[[Conclusion:]]<span style="white; color:red;"> Anyone with a flasher (should) know that you can dump it 1 to 1000's times the same bad. Comparing CRC/MD5/SHA1 is not any secure way to validate flash (as mentioned on [[Hardware_flashing#Generic_Warning|Hardware flashing]]). Letting the dumper do it x times, only gives endusers/customers a false sense of reassurance, always a bad idea.'''

2. Flip all switches down, except the last one (Lock/Unlock). Turn the PS3 on. While in the XMB press START on the flasher and the programming process will begin. The LED's on the indicator will progressively reach 100% (Once finished they will flash alternatively). From this point you have the option to check the log which is saved on the MircoSD which will tell you if the writing process was successful or not - this may or may not be a valid indicator.

3. Power off the console completely (with the switch on the rear or by unplugging it). Flip down the Lock/Unlock switch. Turn on the console and you should see the 'Connect controller using a USB cable' screen. If the console just booted back into the XMB you need to [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/E3#Manual_Downgrade_Process_.28Recommended.29 manually] patch the backup. Turn it back off again.
3. Power off console completely (switch on back - FAT / switch of provided E3 Kit / or removing powercable). Flip down the Lock/Unlock switch. Turn on the console and you should see the 'Connect controller using a USB cable' screen. If the console just booted back into the XMB you need to [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/E3#Manual_Downgrade_Process_.28Recommended.29 manually] patch the backup.
 
4. Power off console completely (switch on back - FAT / switch of provided E3 Kit / or removing powercable) and provide power again. Place your USB downgrade jig in the port closest to the blueray drive (furthest to the right). Quickly press the power and eject button. If successful (depending on your dongle) it will flash or flash green and the console should power off automatically (If not repeat the process but faster).

==== How To Patch Your Dump Manually ====
1. Solder the [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Hardware_flashing#Tristate Tristate] of the PS3 to the SBE pad on the E3's ribbon.
E3 dumps are byte reversed, and so must our patches (otherwise we have to reverse, paste the v2 in the REV, reverse back again - using byte reversed patches shortcuts that 'reversing confusion')

3. Flip all switches down, except the first one (Flash Flun). Turn the PS3 on. If you get a 1101111 error the Tristate is not on correctly. When PS3 is powered on, press the START button on the PS3 and wait for the LED's on the indicator to reach 100% (Once finished they will flash alternatively).
 
4. Switch off the console from the back using the switch provided with the E3 kit. Flip down the Flash Fun switch and place your USB downgrade jig in the port closest to the Blueray Drive (furthest to the right).
 
5. Quickly press the power and eject button. If successful (depending on your dongle) it will flash or flash green and the console should power off automatically (If not repeat the process but faster). If the console gives you a YLOD, check the Tristate and Flash Fun switch.

* Black screen
* No HD activity (No flickering light)
* Corrupt display (Colours are wrong, static, colour spots)
 
The console can be bricked with installing unpatched firmware (In case syscon has 3.56+ hashes, you need prepatched LV1) or misusing the E3.<br />
When this happens the PS3 either produces nothing (black screen) or more commonly it gives you the YLOD (syscon panic) and won't turn on.<br />
Generally de-bricking is similar/same as the Flash Fun method of downgrading however this uses the original/valid dump (not patched).
Note: You can also de-brick with the Flash Fun downgrade method.
 
* Solder a wire from the SBE pad on the E3's ribbon to the [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Hardware_flashing#Tristate Tristate] (NORpoint on PS3 motherboard).
* Place your original/valid dump (Non-patched) on SD/TF card. Make sure your PS3's HD is plugged in.
* Flip all of the switches down on the E3 except Flash Fun.
* Turn on console and press START on the E3 to begin the restore (progress LEDs will light up one by one and blink if successfully). If the console does not power on or the E3 gives you the 11001111 error, check your Tristate cable.
* Power off the console from behind (using E3's switch) and put all switches on the E3 down. Remove/disconnect the Tristate cable.
* Turn the PS3 back on! If everything went fine, it will now be de-bricked. If the screen returns blank check tristate and or dump the current flash and patch it (Or start again, could have been a bad write).

[http://www.tortuga-cove.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=3654 Brick-Recovery Procedure from CFW4.xx back to CFW3.55]
 
Another thing to try: If after you downgraded you have a black screen, try plugging the E3 clip back on (all switches down) and rebooting. Surprisingly this makes the syscon change in the coreOS, which works like a "last known good configuration" like on Windows. This only works with a semi-brick (Similar issue when screwing around with the wrong firmwares). Note doing this could also simply just push slightly damaged pins back into place.
 
==== User experiences ====
From my experience soldering a wire to the NOR Tristate point did nothing, try this method instead. Manually patch your nor backup. Place the patched backup and the e3_downgrade.bin file onto the SD card then put all the switches on the flasher down and hold start and turn on the console. If the console stays on and the flashing process begins when completed after rebooting the console should boot normally on the firmware you were trying to install, if you see two blue flashing lights and the console just turns off  try this.. all switches down except the 6th one (lock/unlock) hold start on the flasher and turn on the console providing that the console stays on once finished flashing '''DO NOT TURN THE CONSOLE OFF''' instead put the last switch down and press start again. once finished reboot and hopefully the console should be back to life.
 
Edit: Soldering SBE to the Nor Tristate is important, so your PS3 will stay "on" in Flash Fun Mode even when bricked

  number 0 stands for LED OFF
  number 0 stands for LED OFF
NOTE:
Once you press START for any writing setting, the first thing the E3 will do is erase the NOR.
Any errors AFTER pressing START will result in the NOR being half erased.
Do not power off the PS3 - Apply pressure to the clip and hit START again - Repeat process until the lights begin to progress.

Reflashing the clean 4.11 backup(which was made long before the brick)resulted in the same black screen again .. also flashing a patched 4.11 dump ended in blackscreen .. 
But flashing the 3.55 dump (after flashing the patched 4.11 backup) did the trick and fixed the black screen problem .. After reformating the HDD i was back on 3.55 even though i was on 4.11 before ..
