(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys my PS3 gave me the black screen of death error when i tried to switch back to D-Rex, I was told that the file system restore from the recovery menu could help me. If I tried this would I still be on a Rebug firmware or would that go too? Sorry for the stupid question but i'm really getting desperate here.

You will still be on your Rebug firmware... Nothing will be lost.

Tried it, i'm still on the black screen, is my ps3 completely broken?

Try to Rebuild Database.

I get the "Please wait" error where it just freezes at the loading screen

I think I know the problem, does anyone have access to a factory service mode payload for an e3 card reader?

Ok, it's completely broken, it won't even stay switched on now

What did you do, man?

The Ps3 won't turn on now, or do you mean it just won't STAY on?

It's bricked :/ (I think)

when you hit power button. right before it shuts off does it make a yellow light like for a split second before it powers off ? You may have bricked your console.
