Power off during download of update firmware

the WDTV live now only gets a power light,  no output at all from hdmi or av - no resposne to ping over network doesnt get an ip address from router no menu picture or response at all from any tv.

it gets power but seems not to even try to start booting up. usb firmware on usb disk that previously worked fine for doing firmware update. nothing I can seem to do.

any help out there to lazarus my wdtv live?

If the WDTV turned off while the firmware was being installed, it’s provable that the unit got bricked. If doing a powercycle doesn’t help contact tech support to see if the can replace it.
