Mine is a CHECHL. Is it confirmed to be working properly? |
Yes, because they have a different motherboard. I have CECHL too and mine works. I switched on and off and tried everything. I am pretty sure it will work. In the internets it says that those series are not affected.
Read this links they all confirm CECHL is working:

I deleted the last link because there is just one post which is interesting:
"Why do people with units we know are not affected (READ: CECHL AND LATER) keep posting about their PS3s working properly?!
I mean seriously... We know it works, guys, post back if it doesn't work."
Based on what I read I am 100% sure that they work not once I have read that they dont work.

ugh, it's not the fault of the cell..I know many people like to take a dig at the Cell but that's wrong to blame the Cell for this problem.
it's the bios chip.
, not the Cell. processor

it's not as simple as your looking at as. for instance : these system's are geared toward by design as system like you have as a PC these system's are entertainment computer's. these are not like a Game console in the sense as the PS2 or the Game Cube even to some extent as the first xbox. with the function's they have added also come's with more complex system design. the Bio's of these system's are like the PC bio's not like the Bio's you had in much older Game system's. you did not have firmware update's to your PS2 like you would have that is on the PS3. more complexity come's greator chance of a fault, but since these thing's that happen are few and far between , and that some can be more critical than other's quite a number of people are not used to this, which is quite understandable if your mainly a console gamer and not say a gamer on the PC. many PC gamer's have experienced problem's like this many time's it's just the first time game console's have hd this extent of problem's. they will get ironed out, and I know it is very frustrating but they are working to fix it. I say hang in there. |
But how does that explain all the consoles that have never been connected to the internet to receive updates having the same problem?
It has to be something that was inside the machines when they were made for all of them to go the same way.
Which again makes you ask the question how could they get that wrong as it seems so basic? Like Mobile Phones for example, we have had them for decades now, they have updates etc. Have never heard of this happening to a phone. Could you imagine how pissed people would be if say their Iphone would not work due to a date memory problem?
This problem has already started to hit national media now.

it's the Bios, you see even if you never connected the PS3 to the internet, say for some reason someone is able to buy a brand new ps3 fat off the shelf tody. the PS3's internal clock's swait state is kept by a onboard battary a CR 2032 watch batter. that battery hold's information not just the date and time but also other setting's on the PS3's internal Bio's chip on it's motherboard. if the software in that Bios chip has a fault in it's program, it would effect the unit even if it was never connected to the internet, that also depend's on the chip and what ver' of the Bio's software that is on the chip. no all the PS3 mother board's may have the same Bio's chip.
lol..there is a big seperator between a mobile phone than something like the PS3 and PC's though that is getting toward not the case in the near future today some PHONE'S ARE RUNNING EMBEDED risc processor's like the Nexus from google that contain's A 1GHz embeded risc processor!
