So he throws caution to the wind and skips the "Checking if you can hack your PS3" step.
All goes well at first, and the nor is flashed.
Then the system turns off (as expected)... and that's the last it ever successfully works. It will not turn on and recovery menu is no longer accessible.
This guy is obviously an idiot, but after a few web searches, he has written off the system as a complete loss. Without the original nor backup, even an E3 flasher would be useless right?
What would someone do to mitigate this tragedy of utter stupidity? Would this system be useful for anything other than parts for another system?
I realize there are better forums to ask this, but I know a lot of people here have some good understanding of how systems work (I thought I was one of them, but I don't know what to tell the guy in this instance).
--EDIT--

and went foul after the "3. Running the exploit" step was completed.
