the error shows itself as the controller not being able to connect to ps3/Ethernet cable undetected when conected to the ps3
this is caused by the wifi board failing or loose connection between the wifi board and the motherboard of the ps3
if you just cleaned the ps3 or opened it all the way down to the mother board, then it is more likely that the wide/short silver cable wasn't secured well to the wifi board or the lock for the cable on the mother board is not set in the lock position
ive run into this a bit
or if your on the unlucky side of the bridge then you have a malfunctioning wifi board, you best bet is to replace it with a matching system's wifi board,always git a new wide/short silver cable as well just in case the old cable is damaged (not as likely but dose happen with bad repair jobs)
the wifi board is the one mounted to the motherboard in-front of the power brick/under the memory card adapter, the antenna connects to it with a black wire
hope this helps anyone fighting this horrible problem
