This program says my CECH-2501A Slim can be upgraded from 3.50 or later.

I have a fat ps3 with ofw 4.40. I tried the MinVerChk with the usb but it says "no applicable update data was found." Does this mean it isn't reading my usb? or do is there something else I need to do for it to work?

put the usb in the far right port and see if that works. having a fat ps3 you can downgrade to 3.55 though if thats what you are wondering. from the 1st post:
