Hola, hace como un año guarde en favoritos una pagina muy interesante, y en mi opinión, la más completa sobre información detallada en cuanto a Hardware y funcionamiento de PS3. El articulo es
MUY extenso, lo enlazo primero completo:
http://www.edepot.com/playstation3.htmlEsta noche, enredando y aburrido un poco, me ha dado por volver a mirarlo, y he encontrado algunas cosas que en su dia no lei, y que hoy, viendo como avanza la scene, resultan bastante interesante, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta las ganas que hay de conocer la posibilidad de realizar un posible Downgrade.
Quizas esta informacion carezca de valor, pero me veo en la necesidad de compartirla, quien sabe si es el comienzo para que alguien con tiempo y conocimientos suficientes, le meta mano por algun lado.
Ahora, pego las partes que me han parecido interesantes:

PS3 Firmware versionshttp://www.edepot.com/playstation3.html#PS3_FirmwareComenta entre muchas otras cosas:
The firmware updates for consumer PS3 units are located in a file named PS3UPDAT.PUP. The firmware data can be downloaded manually from the internet (location: http://www.jp.playstation.com/ps3/update/ ), or automatically by the PS3 if an internet connection is enabled. If you are updating manually, place the PS3UPDAT.PUP in location /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP of the memory stick or USB storage device so the PS3 can find it. Note that you need to do this each time you upgrade your harddrive in the newer PS3 models (because the firmware is partially stored on the harddrive and changing harddrives require system files from firmware update file to be re-written on to the harddrive). If this is the case, the PS3 will request this PS3UPDAT.PUP before formatting your new harddrive, and when you have done so, press "SELECT" and "START" buttons on the controller to tell the PS3 to start reading the firmware file.
Note that starting with firmware 3.40, the PS3 is able to download patches to previous firmware, rather than download the whole new firmware. The patch file is named PS3PATCH.PUP, and contains only files that are changed from the previous firmware version. This saves on download time. You cannot upgrade a harddrive with only a PS3PATCH.PUP in the removable media (for PS3 that contain 16MB of flash), as this patch file does not contain everything needed to boot up the PS3. The consumer PS3 units checks on the internet for new firmware versions and their location via this address:
http://fus01.ps3.update.playstation.net/update/ps3/list/us/ps3-updatelist.txt
If your machine is not a United States PS3, substitute the two "us" in the address above with one of the following:
* au for Australia
* be for Belgium
* cn for China
* eu for Europe
* jp for Japan
* kr for Korea
* mx for Mexico
* nl for Netherlands
* ru for Russia
* sa for South Africa
* tw for Taiwan
* uk for United Kingdom

Otra cosa interesante que acabo de leer, y que me llama la atención, y ademas pone de manifiesto el conocimiento que tenia esta persona del funcionamiento de la maquina es esto:

Super Secrets:
http://www.edepot.com/playstation3.html#Super_SecretsComenta, tambien entre mucha mas información:
The PS3 can enter a special "Service Mode". When it does the bottom right hand corner of the screen has a red translucent rectangle with the words "Playstation 3. Factory/Service Mode" inside of the rectangle. It is rumored that by plugging a special JIG in the USB port (and then pressing both Eject and Power button at the same time), the PS3 shuts down and is triggered into Service Mode the next time it boots up. This special mode then accepts firmware code loaded in from the USB port, and allows reflashing the firmware chip.
Genericamente, en Super Secrets:
With the PS3 power switch in the off position, turn power switch back on while holding down Eject button. This "fan test" mode allows you to clean out the dust inside the PS3. It works for Models CECHG and higher. (Note that a plugged in PS3 Slim does not have a power switch at all and is always in standby).
The following requires the power switch in the back to be on...
Hold Power button down for 6 seconds (while PS3 is on): turns off PS3.
Hold Eject button down for 6 seconds (while PS3 is on): force disc to eject.
Hold Eject button down for 12 seconds (while PS3 is on): reset Blu-ray.
Hold Power button down for two beeps (while PS3 is off): Reset video to lowest settings.
Hold Power button down for three beeps (while PS3 is off): Enter PS3 diagnostic mode (repeat procedure twice)
Hold PS button down on controller for 10 seconds: Turns off Sixaxis or Dualshock 3.
Resumiendo lo que me ha parecido interesante:(because the firmware is partially stored on the harddrive and changing harddrives require system files from firmware update file to be re-written on to the harddrive). If this is the case, the PS3 will request this PS3UPDAT.PUP before formatting your new harddrive, and when you have done so, press "SELECT" and "START" buttons on the controller to tell the PS3 to start reading the firmware file.(Ya que el firmware es parcialmente almacenados en el disco duro y el cambio de discos duros requieren archivos de sistema de actualización de Firmware a ser re-escrito en el disco duro). Si este es el caso, la PS3 solicitar este PS3UPDAT.PUP antes de formatear su disco duro nuevo, y cuando lo haya hecho, pulse "SELECT" y "START" botones en el controlador de PS3 para decirle al comenzar a leer el archivo de firmware.
The PS3 can enter a special "Service Mode". When it does the bottom right hand corner of the screen has a red translucent rectangle with the words "Playstation 3. Factory/Service Mode" inside of the rectangle. It is rumored that by plugging a special JIG in the USB port (and then pressing both Eject and Power button at the same time), the PS3 shuts down and is triggered into Service Mode the next time it boots up. This special mode then accepts firmware code loaded in from the USB port, and allows reflashing the firmware chip. La PS3 puede entrar en un "Modo de servicio". Cuando lo hace la esquina inferior derecha de la pantalla tiene un rectángulo de color rojo translúcido con las palabras "Playstation 3. Factory / Modo de servicio" en el interior del rectángulo. Se rumorea que al conectar un giga especial en el puerto USB (y luego presionando tanto Expulsar y botón de encendido al mismo tiempo), la PS3 se apaga y se activa en modo de servicio la próxima vez que arranca. Este modo especial a continuación, acepta el código del firmware cargado en el puerto USB, y permite volver a grabar el chip del firmware.Asi que nada, aqui lo dejo, solo por el mero echo de compartirlo.
Un saludo!!!
