ps3 remarry drive

Hello you guys I have a question about ReMarrying a BluRay drive logic board to a motherboard.
I know it can be done in some cases, but can anyone tell me the specifics?
I bought 2 ps3 phat models CECHC04 to replace the drives, switch the logic board off course, only to find that my working PS3 already had a different drive.
Ergo, I do not have the original Logic Board in my working PS3. I do have a working BD400 drive but the logic board will not work.
I read that in some cases it does not need to be remarried? But if i do need to remarry, can it be done with any firmware.
I do not own a hardware flasher but want to know if it can be done with an E3 card reader.

You can remarry on 3.55 and lower with Remarry Bluray Drive, or if the unit has OtherOS+Linux installed with Remarry Bluray Drive on Linux
You need remarry when changing either the motherboard+BD daughterboard, so as long those 2 are still kept and bound together, no remarry is needed, even if you replace the rest of the drive (e.g. sled, laser etc.)
If your unit is now running a modified firmware, it can remarry or downgrade to 3.55 where the above documented remarry procedure can be used.
If your unit is NOT running a modified firmware, and is currently on 3.56 or higher, you need a hardware flasher to get it modified or downgraded.
