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

Re: my ps3 wont take system updates

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!!
