Yes, best way to know if the the slot and its connection who has the problem not the hard drive. But i heard it is brand new mate!!

Try looking for another PS3 and put your hard drive to it instead.

I wonder if there's a designed anti virus for PS3 to read. I brought mine second hand so i don't know if it's included.
