You can try to just turn it on. If you just get a black screen then try it through recovery.

Check the MD5 of the 4.21.2 PUP to verify it is correct and that you have it in the proper format PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP

Definitely don't try installing 4.21 OFW unless you have a flasher.

That means 1 of 2 things.

1. It isn't named properly on the USB PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
2. The USB isn't working properly on your console......try using another one.
