I got this on a brand new 80GB back in 2009, it was less than a week old.

It happens when the update doesn't install correctly, and seeing as this happened to me way back in 09, I doubt it's anything to do with CFW.

I took mine back to the store and got a full refund and purchased a Slim a week later.

I'd ring Sony and ask for a refurbished PS3, they won't know if you used CFW or not, and if they do you can plead total ignorance and say you recently purchased it from a friend.

Anyway, I hope you get a fix, but ring Sony as a last resort. =D

You have obviously done something wrong. It's illegal for Sony to brick your PS3 so it was not them.
