I've just purchased a PS3 slim 320GB knowing it was faulty and fancied a challenge but have got nowhere! The previous owner says their son turned the power off during an update and since then hasn't worked. I've tried re-setting the official controller, trying different leads and sockets, I've now re-formatted the hard drive using my PC but still the black screen of death wont go away. I've tried looking on various forums but still no luck.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

It's very simple.
Just connect your controller to the console with a USB cable.
Once the console detects the controller, it will move to the next screen, which is the software installation.
Keep a pen drive loaded with the latest PS3 console software. Insert the same in the USB slot.
Now just follow the on-screen instructions to install & load the PS3 console.
