BB Software :: Dead 9780 After Device Update?

In January 2011 I purchased a new Bold 9780 and I just loved it. Yesterday on my phone I received an opportunity for a device update. After it indicated that it would take over 2 hours to install and during which time I would not be able to use the phone I tried to prompt it for a remote start at 2:00AM (then I would have time to do a back-up)...pressed save after making the time prompt and it still started the update immediately. I shrugged it off and let it do it's thing. Almost 3 hours later, it still wasn't up. I was still getting a white screen with the small black box with second hand spinning in the centre of the screen then it would give me a download bar that would only load to 50% then the screen/phone would shut off, red indicator light would come on, then a white screen again....repeat! Contacted my service provider and was told that it sounds like it just needs more time to do it's thing. I plugged it into the wall so that it wouldn't run out of juice and went to bed. Woke up at 4:00AM, checked the phone and there was no power, black screen and no indicator light on. I WAS UNABLE TO POWER UP THE PHONE. Still plugged in, I pulled the battery. I then got a red indicator light but nothing else. Put the battery back in and the indicator light went out and, once again, the phone was dead.
