Ok. What color is the LED on your reader showing? Red or Orange? Does it blink?

Anyway, charge your reader using a dedicated wall charger overnight (PSP charger will do). Remove the SD card, connect it to your PC and try the update using Sony's firmware updater again. And btw. i doubt that a hard reset would help, though you could try it. Details here...

Well, please keep in mind that you tried an unsupported software update using software from a 3rd party source. It isn't primarily Sony's fault...
