Those of you who have not tried the battery removal method discussed elsewhere in this forum may find it useful. It seems to be working in many cases.

Notes: Had to do a hard reset during the process, after waiting 20 minutes with a blank screen (after the reset of the backup). Also while the update didn't touch anything, even when the welcoming Windows screen appeared, I left it there, didn't perform the first time Wizard until the full update was done.
