Updating the GF's Glo. Battery was 50%-60%. It's stuck on "Restarting".
Tried a paperclip reset. Nothing. Then the hold-the-light switch & power button trick with no luck. USB won't see it either. The only activity I see is doing the paperclip prod, where the LED goes green for a second, then flashes blue a few times.

Called support 2 days ago, and the agent escalated it to level 2, but I haven't heard anything back.

Anyone have any other tricks I could try? I'd hate to think I'm looking forward to yet another replacement.
Charge fully (poss with a different USB cable), power off (regardless of what you see on the screen), then hold the light switch while paperclipping? Then repeat, in case your power off was actually a power on.
