Hacking Refurbished PS3 question

[Tom Bombadildo]

Quick question. Got a Refurbished PS3 Slim CECH 2501B for christmas, was wondering if when the PS3 gets refurbished if they can change the lowest firmware? Also, what is or how can I check the lowest firmware on my PS3?

I can't give any definate anwser but i have that exact model, mine came with either 3.40 or 3.41 new, but right now its on 3.41, still haven't updated to 3.55 yet. as far as refurbished goes, no clue

Cool...I did find a little app that will tell me what the lowest firmware is on PS3-hax.net so...Yeeah.

Turns out it's just as BlackAce said! 3.4.0! Cool. This can be closed now.

refurbished means repaired or maybe just cleaned up not reset it will still be on whatever firmware someone installed last time it was used.
