I just HAD to let you know.....I spent HOURS and HOURS trying to fix this problem and I was just about to give up...when I found this video....I figured why no try this....I've done everything else......IT WORKED!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My son thanks you......he hasn't been able to play COD for months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you................
(Part 4 - FINAL POST) be able to read discs.... This was solved for me by going to the PS3 Boot menu... (look up on Google or whatever how to get to this menu)... and doing "Restore File System" (i think that's what it was called if I remember correctly)... Afterwards everything worked perfectly for me, and I did not have to delete ANY saved data or reformat the hard drive at all. I hope this helps people who had these SUCKY issues after working hard to fix the YLOD.. Thanks again JessTechingUp
(Part 3) that insures that the Blu-day disc player will ACTUALLY press down on any spacer that you have created.. before it, my issue, which I didn't notice until my final attempt, was that this spring was pressing on ONE end of the spacer (a pencil in my case) only, and messing up the way the weight should be distributed above the ribbon to insure all of the connections....

(Part 2) pressing hard on the pencil contraption i created that substitutes as the ribbon clip..... One thing I NEEED to add to the method that people should know (and my problem was only solved after I realized this) is that on the bottom of the blu-ray player, right around where it sits above the clip to the motherboard, is a sort of metal Spring (its not a spring but serves a similar purpose that distributes the weight of the drive UNEVENLY over the substitute spacer..You can unscrew it and..
(Part 1) I very much appreciate this video and this worked for me. after i fixed the YLOD and the black ribbon-clip on the motherboard broke (cheap shit sony), I had this same issue.. there is now a piece of a pencil inside my PS3 that is absolutely vital to it running properly -___- ....... I tried your method about 8-12 times and I was almost ready to quit, presuming it was a different problem that would never get solved.

OMG thank you very much you jus saved my life!. i had called sony to see if i could fix it but they said no that i had to send it in for serveice but since i had worked on it fixing th ylod they said my system wasnt available for the sony service and they told me to just look into buying a new ps3. but then i found this video . THANK YOU.
alright so I just bought this ps3 yesterday but apparently the disc drive wouldn't eject so I just fixed that but that error happened when I tried updating the system software. The clips are still there but I don't get why the errors still there...I even tried resucuring the ribbon with electrical tap...can you help me?
It didn't work for me, my clip was never broken, still have the same error code 8002F14E. I am wondering if I should attempt to reformat the hard drive, and if so, how do I go about doing that? I go into safe mode and it still just goes back to the update screen and stops at about 74% and does the same thing if I restart it, each time... Help me obiwan Kenobi
@arosxx64 Yes. I thought I described it in the video, but it is nothing more than electrical tape stacked together. It must be durable, because there haven't been any issues with the PS3 since this one here. FYI.
@arosxx64 If you still need help, lemme know and although I don't know too much more from what was demonstrated in this video, I'll do what I can to assist you.
@ProfessorElb Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Essentially, the spacer is just electrical tape TAPED to itself. There is no right or wrong way to do it. The idea is just to make it thick and durable so that it doesn't move around under normal use and so that it holds its shape.
As I recall, I took a piece of tape, taped it to itself a few wraps, then took the roll of electrical tape and wrapped the crap out of it, ensuring it would fit well in the little cut-out where the ribbon goes.
mine has metal things on the side of the power supply, can't get it out :(
