Regarding pressure, it all depends on how many times you have tried to clip it. The more you clip onto the NOR the weaker its pins get, it will no longer make that click sound and it won't stay on its own.  
Regarding pressure, it all depends on how many times you have tried to clip it. The more you clip onto the NOR the weaker its pins get, it will no longer make that click sound and it won't stay on its own.  
If you are after a permanent install you should put some foam or something squeezable on top of the NOR chip (roughly 2-3cm tall that can compress to 1-1.5cm) and reassemble the PS3 (Which causes pressure on the NOR). If you do not care for a permanent install try using a clamp, clip or vice as seen in this [https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/File:gECpD.jpg image].

Once you have got a successful read you shouldn't start assuming its error free. Check the dump you have and if it appears valid you should not be touching your clip again (to prevent any bricking when downgrading).

2. Flip all switches down, except the last one (Lock/Unlock). Turn the PS3 on. While in the XMB press START on the flasher and the programming process will begin. The LED's on the indicator will progressively reach 100% (Once finished they will flash alternatively). From this point you have the option to check the log which is saved on the MircoSD which will tell you if the writing process was successful or not - this may or may not be a valid indicator.

2. Patch your bkpps3.bin with [http://www.betterwayelectronics.com/files/BwE_NOR-NAND_Patcher.rar BwE NOR/NAND Patcher] or patch it manually (Do not accidentally patch the byte-reversed version after validating). Once that's done, place it by itself on a micro SD Card.

3. Flip all switches down, except the first one (Flash Fun). Turn the PS3 on (If you get a 1101111 error the [[Hardware_flashing#Tristate|Tristate]] is not on correctly). When PS3 is powered on, press the START button on the E3 and wait for the LED's on the indicator to reach 100% (Once finished they will flash alternatively). From this point you have the option to check the log which is saved on the MicroSD which will tell you if the writing process was successful or not - this may or may not be a valid indicator.
