the firmware update to cause this from not being completed the unit should boot back to normal
mode after leaving it powered on (NOT PUSHING THE SAFE MODE BUTTON ON THE BACK
OF THE UNIT) and left alone for 30 minutes.

clockwise rotation after 30 minutes the unit is most likely stuck in safe mode.

BACK OF THE UNIT. This will only continue to keep the unit stuck in safe mode.
If the unit does not boot back to normal mode after leaving powered on for 30 minutes then
