Ok so you were late to the party or didnt get to the party at all and still are on firmware 2.36 yet still yearn for that 2.40 goodness
dont worry i was there until yesterday, i put on my balls of steel backed up my harddrive and installed 2.40, (the solution to unbrick your ps3 is to reformat your drive)
"BUT HOW WAS TAKEN DOWN FOR TEH BRIKKS", you said. After a bit of matlockery i tracked down some external links for the new firmware downloaded and installed and now have started on what will eventually become and gargantuan E-penis trophy collection
so here i give the firmware 2.40 links so you can install this firmware and start collecting trophies , just remember if your shit goes bunk REMEMBER, YOU BACKED UP YOUR HARDDRIVE BEFORE YOU INSTALLED THIS UPDATE.
(THESE ARE U.S. ONLY YOU WERE WARNED)

I celebrated Canada day by getting wasted, it was awesome just like the moose!
Backups are wise.
Anyway, he's been playing all day every day since and it's worked fine, and I just booted it up a little while ago to see for myself now that I'm home. So far everything seems perfectly normal.
Thank God.
phew
I'm thankful that I wasn't drinking anything when I read your response, lest fluid squirt out my nose in a fit of laughter. Good stuff.
