[NTLK] Power pulled in middle of a hard reset - bricked?

Might just be the switch gave out.  Doubt it is fully bricked/deadforever.  Try removing all power for a couple of days then plug it in.  Might come back then.  Could also try holding down the reset button for a long time which resets the power system.

Even if things got corrupted and not erased fully, it should boot up enough to let you do another brain wipe worst case.  Provided the switch works well enough.  But it sounds like you might need to get that replaced first.
