I think your motherboard's console has been changed. According to PS3 dev wiki, min. FW version for 3.40 corresponds to a Slim 2500 motherboard:

The last line of the output mentions that the console has been refurbished:

Also, the HDD has been changed to a 1TB Seagate Barracuda, which no PS3 SKU released with it.

You may have to open the console and check which motherboard is.

Wait, min. FW version 3.40 means you can jailbreak your console in order to install CFW, either by using BgToolset (currently with some issues) or FlashWriter (if you feel brave enough).

Well, this came up while I was attempting to use FlashWriter. I was following some instructions involving that, and that's how it came up.

Since the other one has some issues, I think sticking with HEN for now is my best bet.

How is it even possible to have a slim motherboard inside a fat case?

I'm just thinking out loud here, but maybe Sony refurbished the CECHH motherboard by removing the original CELL+RSX+SYSCON and putting what they had in stock at the time (these would be the same CELL+RSX+SYSCON that they were using for the PS3 Slims).

Or maybe some newer, unreleased revisions of the motherboards only intended for refurbishing consoles (highly unlikely, but possible).

But min. FW ver. 3.40 is clearly a sign of the Slim dates.

Yeah, 3.40 is late 21xx and early 25xx iirc.
It really sounds weird that a slim motherboard could even fit inside a fat case, and if you remove the Cell + RSX + SYSCON, considering the cost of work, it might be cheaper to replace the entire motherboard.
If they had unreleased revisions just for repairs, Matty might have a very noteworthy PS3. It would be really nice if he could open it up and take a photo of the board.

Indeed, a picture of that motherboard should shed some light here, if @MattysMasquerades is OK with opening the console, of course.

Yeah, I don't know if I am comfortable with that. I'm not even sure how I would go about it.

I did buy it refurbished on purpose, though.

I get you, I'd probably think twice before doing it myself too.

Still, just to clarify your situation -
If there's indeed an otherwise unreleased SKU that Sony only ever used for refurbishing then you might have a very rare console, which could be very valuable. Or, they might have just updated the SYSCON and it's not worth any more than any old non-BC fat PS3. Unfortunately without having it opened and the motherboard examined there's no way to know.
BTW - If your CPU / GPU temperatures are above 70°C or the fans are loud it means that you'll need to open it up anyway to clean up dust and change the thermal paste.

Understood. Should that happen, I will let you know.
