I called customer service and it’s a known issue. In fact if you have one that has a flashing led when it’s plugged in even if it’s not from the update they would probably swap it if you told them that was the problem. Not sure what model they are going to replace it with but it’s better than buying a new one.
You might consider calling them and explain what happened and tell them your worried about a future update bricking the device. The worst they can say is no.
