## 🚨 When to Use This Tool

Some symptoms that your NOR is corrupt or faulty:
1. No power at all. The console draws 8ma of current or 0ma of current when connecting to a bench power supply
2. 3 beeps of death. The console beeps 3 times when you plug in the main power chord
3. Cannot update the console
### Signs of a Corrupt NOR
Your PS5 might need NOR file modification if you experience:
- No power (0-8ma current when connected to bench power supply)
- 3 beeps of death when plugging in the power chord
- Unable to update the console

This is also useful if you cannot update the console because the disc drive IC is either faulty, or if you don't have a matching disc drive for your motherboard. You can convert your NOR dump from a disc edition to digital edition to "fool" the PS5 during
an update. This will allow an update to go through and will not hurt the console. If you do somehow get the disc drive working at a later date you would need to convert the console back, along with the matching serial number.
### Special Use Cases
- Convert NOR dump from disc to digital edition to bypass disc drive IC issues
- Allow console updates when disc drive is faulty
- Modify console edition without hardware changes

Features:
1. Read PS5 NOR files (PS5 Slim not currently supported)
2. Write PS5 NOR files (PS5 Slim not currently supported)
3. Change serial number on NOR file
4. Change version flags (disc edition or digital edition)
5. Read motherboard serial
6. Read WiFi MAC address
7. Read LAN MAC address
## ✨ Features

6. Option to download entire uartcodes.com database for offline use
7. Send custom UART commands and receive response in output box
