i have a ps3 that i got from a guy when u power it on , it goes straight to sysyem update , it shuts down at 43 percent everytime , i have tried the beeps on the power button, didnt work , also have tried the ps3 update on memory stick ,the ps3 sees the update , tries to take the update and stops again at 43 percent , there is no warrenty on it , anyone know what the problem is and can i fix it myself , i looked online and i see alot of people have same problem and the only 2 fixes i seen where the holding the power button for beeps or to put update on a memory stick , which i have tried both things nothing worked , any info would be great , tks

Bad NAND flash chip, or other device that is being updated when it hits 43%.

this may sound daft but someone came to me with this problem a while back and sorted by the following!
open up ps3 and disconnect the battery backup also unplug the hard drive leave for 10 mins
then reconnect the hard drive an battery backup.
download a fresh copy of the latest firmware plug memory stick with firmware on it in.
then switch on and go into recovery mode.
recover previous firmware then once successfully done upgrade with new firmware on the stick!
it might not work for you but it did for this chap!!
