Strange Soft Brick (PS3 Slim CECH-2003B)

My issue: SOFT BRICKED + NO DISPLAY

How the issue occurred: E3 FLASHED WITH VALID PATCHED DUMP (No errors)

I have tried to fix my issue with: FLASHING BACK WITH THE ORIGINAL DUMP BUT NO SUCCESS

******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
I am able to turn on the PS3 and it stays on but I can't go into recovery mode because holding down the button after the PS3 turns off once just turns it off. It doesn't go to the double beep to go to recovery mode.

I flashed a valid patched dump onto the PS3 (CHECKED and no errors or warnings) using the E3 flasher and the E3 flasher IS a genuine E3 flasher and not a fake E3 flasher - YES, I checked. I have used the PS3 flash tool 4.70, 4.50 and the latest one too and I have tried flashing the original backed up dump onto it but still no success in unbricking it. And I have done hours of research and even the German guy's method on YouTube hasn't worked to unbrick my PS3 (ultraNSC) which is what I followed to do another jailbreak.

Now, you may suggest soldering to the two points needed BUT my PS3 *DOES* stay TURNED ON I have watched videos of people just going into recovery mode and up****** it but I have NO DISPLAY (tested the AV and HD ports) and can not even get the PS3 to do the double beeps to go into recovery mode.

I have jailbroken 1 PS3 successfully on 4.31 and I HAVE updated the E3 flasher with the multiconsole update from Samsung.
I really don't know what I am doing wrong or IF I am doing something wrong.

Any help is greatly appreciated by me and other users that may have had the same problem as me.
