No power at all. The console draws 8ma of current or 0ma of current when connecting to a bench power supply -2. 3 beeps of death. The console beeps 3 times when you plug in the main power chord -3. Cannot update the console +### Signs of a Corrupt NOR +Your PS5 might need NOR file modification if you experience: +- No power (0-8ma current when connected to bench power supply) +- 3 beeps of death when plugging in the power chord +- Unable to update the console -This is also useful if you cannot update the console because the disc drive IC is either faulty, or if you don't have a matching disc drive for your motherboard. You can convert your NOR dump from a disc edition to digital edition to "fool" the PS5 during -an update. This will allow an update to go through and will not hurt the console. If you do somehow get the disc drive working at a later date you would need to convert the console back, along with the matching serial number. +### Special Use Cases +- Convert NOR dump from disc to digital edition to bypass disc drive IC issues +- Allow console updates when disc drive is faulty +- Modify console edition without hardware changes -Features: -1.
