any other thoughts ?

Still no luck huh? Dd you try replacing the power supply, or the power eject board?

75%-99%
Cause: From this point onwards the update is in a stage of verification and why you sometimes see it jump from 80% to 100% as it should be almost instantaneous. This is where pretty much any issues to do with the hard drive are detected from any write failures and normally down to corrupts sectors. If the update makes it to 98-99% can be either a corrupt boot sector on the HDD or the reset signal on the motherboard is not working.
Fixes: For a faulty reset signal, simply changing power supplies has fixed the problem in all of my cases; other than that I am unsure how else to fix the signal without swapping power supplies. If it is the HDD at fault then you will have to swap hard drives and then install another and update the console.

I would try and follow "Guide on how to Fix "Cannot Start. Correct hard disk not found" error, other HDD Problems, and the PS3 Restore Loop (3 in 1 Guide )"

If the drive has bad sectors, HDD Regenerator software will find and fix them.

Maybe the logic is ****ed...Maybe im wrong but you can try to change the power supply like @Bigbones87 said and @playerkp420 suggested.

It is either the hdd, or the reset signal.

So I hope you have tried what was suggested, before asking for more thoughts
