ok malc27,by that no signal it sounds like the ps3 turned off,did you remove the usb yet and put the other lvl2diag.self on,make sure you remove the pup and the other lvl2diag,your in a bit of unknown territory here mate,but it sounds like your ok,this didnt happen to me,but i did the one i was doing blind because the bloody settings were set to hdmi and i was on a rgb connection and it worked
The flashing green light could be because it is still in service mode

Hello SINNO I tried your link out put the files on the USB but all it does is just turns itself off I came across THIS
to get me in recovery screen up and this is what I get by entering each one.
1. Restart System
With this it just turns itself off
2. Restore Default Settings
With this it just turns itself off
3. Restore File System
With this it just turns itself off
4. Rebuild Database
With this I get this message (the hard disk cannot be accessed)
5. Restore PS3tm System
With this it just turns itself off
6.
This I have not tried as it would probably update it higher than 3.50

The restore ps3 system looks promising,put firmware in a folder called PS3 then UPDATE and put the 3.50 firmware pup in to that folder,because you dont have it connected to the net it should look for the firmware on the usb
So we are clear
Format the usb to fat 32
Create folder PS3(in caps)
Inside that folder Create a folder UPDATE(in caps)
Inside that folder put the 3.50 firmware pup in to this folder
plug in to the ps3 and restore your system
And good luck m8 i hope it works
Sorry malc27 go to 6 system update with the 3.50 on the usb as described above,if that don't work use 3.55

SINNO I have just tried putting the 3.50 firmware pup on without the Lv2diag.self FILE 1 in the 2 folders
PS3 & UPDATE And I get the following message up,
A serious error has occurred.
Contact technical support for assistance.

So I think I need your assistance :idea:
I am getting this message on putting the 3.55 firmware on from my USB.
This data is corrupted
(8002F2C5)
Is it possible that the hard drive as got corrupted by downgrading as my ps3
was working fine until I attempted downgrading it.
Also came across THIS have you seen it before.

Anything is worth a shot at the minute,have a look at this first HERE,try that then if you have no luck,another option is to connect the ps3 to your router with a ethernet cable and go to that system update,you will probably end up with 3.61 but you would have a working ps3,you did look at THISright,i will keep searching and see what the hell is going on,your mate didnt downgrade this before did he

I have tried the method from your link but no joy and my mate would not know how to downgrade it lol, Looks like this might be my last resort connect my ps3 to my router with a Ethernet cable and go to the system update hope this works or my PS3 is for the BIN I will give this a go tomorrow as it is a bit of time consuming I have not installed my IP address in my PS3 Would this matter.
If my ps3 to my router with an Ethernet does not work what if I got the ps3 hard drive out and reformatted it on my PC as I have got the hardware extensions to do this from my PC and then try to put the 3.50 firmware on from my USB again on my PS3.
