@ Ldn.se )

they can't work magic .. that PS3 is probably gone for good

@ OP )

a new mainboard is the same as a new PS3, so yes, it would reformat his HDD

You're right Lafiel.

My old 60gig Ps3 will reach 3yrs in a few months. I hope that when it breaks I'll be able to transfer all data to the Slim. I wouldnt try to fix it by myself tho. Too risky. 

i wish you good luck for your ps3:):)

anyway to the poster i agree a new motherboard is just like having a different ps3, it's about time sony made some software which enables you to backup your HDD without requiring a PS3, as this would help out a lot of people, unfortunately right now you need a working ps3...
