Firmware Update Stuck at 91%

[Black Hole]

Yes, I know, we've all seen it and I was expecting it... but how long do I leave it before panicking? Been over 10 minutes now, which seems excessive.

Anybody know what happens if I pull the plug?

Phew! Fortunately, nothing.

I was able to restart the update, and this time it only paused for the usual few minutes (and again at 99%).

Was it really minutes?, or was that a figure of speech, I.e. it was really only seconds

Yes, a few minutes.

I have never timed the proceedure but from from what I can remenber the whole process only took a couple of minutes
BTW
Did you literally pull the plug?, e.g. disconnect the mains supply and if so was the front button also used after re-connecting the mains supply?

What I did (in the stuck condition, having decided I had waited long enough but worried about the consequences) was the only thing it is possible to do: power-cycle it. It then recognised the firmware update again and everything proceeded normally the second time (to much relief).
