Backup and reassign of protected save games from on PS3 HDD to another

Question

My PS3 died with YLOD two days ago. I haven't been able to power it on since.

I'd like to be able to backup and reassign the saved games, including the protected saves, to a new PS3's HDD.

Is there any software available which can, via a PC, extract saved game data from a PS3 hard disk and reassign it to a different PS3 hard disk?

Answer

I think you're out of luck. As another answer states, you can only restore encrypted game saves to the same physical PS3. See this answer for more details (including a number you can use to call Sony about repair).

If you were a member of PlayStation Plus, it would allow you to store up to 150 MB of game saves on Sony's servers, which would be accessible via your PSN ID. However, this doesn't really help you since your console is dead.
