I have too many friends that seem to have the same problem after they upgrade their PS3 firmware, including me just a few days ago.

Sony’s PS3 Firmware 3.41 mandatory update from July 27th, 2010 added a new “You May Like” section to the popular PlayStation Store. But as I said above, it’s caused problems during the hard drive console upgrade.
According to my friends the TV screen flashes a “no applicable data” error after trying to install the update, which left them with a non-working PS3 and, in 3 cases cases, a corrupted original drive. In my case the update installed fine, but when the PS3 restarted I lost the ability to use my wireless feature. This meant no game controllers or TV remote. Let me tell you that really made me mad, and made the PS3 into a over-sized paper weight.
More research shows that the issue may have something to do with a newly discovered feature of the 3.41 update that allows for more incremental patches. That would explain why the problem only seems to be affecting PS3s where the firmware is stored on the hard drive instead of the system’s memory.
After cooling off I found out that Sony has not fixes yet, so I did the next best thing.
I went into the system folder on my home screen and clicked on restore to original configuration.
The system rebooted and for now my game controllers work but my TV remote so so much.
I will get back to you if I find a more complete solution. Or if you have one comm your idea below.
