I had this error code as well, plus update loop, so decided to open it up and see if there's any easily discernible problems.
I am not a tech expert by far, so I would like to know if what I found inside is normal, or might be a part of the problem.
I bought my PS3 slim from a guy who says he has only tried to change the hdd, but failed, and he didn't mod it or anything. However, it looks really weird, completely different from all photos and videos I've seen.
Whether or not I've been conned isn't really the question, I would just like to know if it's possible to fix this error with the hardware as it is shown.

Added photos to show you what I mean.
