well it was a friend that gave it to me. The ps3 is in OFW 7.72 he was playing and tuned of the ps3 and the when he turned it on again it had a blue screen sorry for my english

If there is text on the screen, it is almost certainly fixable...the only issue being that many of the tools to fix such an issue are locked to firmware 3.55 or lower. Do you get a black screen if you remove the hard drive?

well if i remove the hdd when the ps3 is on or do i remove it an then test it. I will do both a get back to you guy later i'm in college wen i gethome ill give it a try and tell you my results or make a video thx.

Connect the drive to a PC and format it to NTFS. Then put it back into the system and put firmware 3.72 onto a flash drive. When it starts up, it will ask for the flash drive...plug it in and follow the on-screen prompts.
