Bricked my CRKD Les Paul..?

I was in the process of following the instructions to update the firmware on my guitar. Once I fully powered it off and plugged it into my PC nothing happened… now it won’t even turn back on.

Does anybody know how to fix this? Any help would be very much appreciated :)

I cannot find any work...

I know I'm very late to starting my career at the age of 27. This wasn't my choice as I've had several surgeries and a constant medical battle since 2017 that I finally overcame... but now that I'm finally on the mend I'm SUPER stressed out about catching up and actually becoming independent to the point I'm having blood pressure issues. I'm currently the only one living at my dad's lake property, which he doesn't mind as the place would sit empty anyway outside of summer months, but I feel like such a burden.

I graduated from University with a BA in Business Management / Admin in 2024 and the only work I could find was a remote 9-5 cold calling role that I hated with every fiber of my being. At the time, I was living with my now ex and we pulled in a combined income with enough money to get a decent apartment. Even though I am dating someone now, we have no plans to move in together anytime soon. As such, I feel like I need to be more greedy in my salary expectations to be able to afford to simply live. And since I'm over 26 I need to find an entry level role that pays enough to live off of and has full benefits.

Due to my medical history any hard physical labor is simply out of the question for me. In a perfect world I would be able to find remote work, and stay at the property rent free for 6mo to save up a decent amount and catch up... but since starting my job hunt again I've applied to well over 900 jobs at this point and nothing has happened. At first I was exclusively applying for remote work as I was still very worried about my medical issue resurfacing, but now I'm also applying for in-office roles in the DFW area (specifically North Dallas) and I still hear back from basically 0 applications.

I swear that these job board websites such as HandShake, LinkedIn, GlassDoor, ZipRecruiter etc... have an onslaught of fake or ghost jobs as I've only ever received responses from ~5% of applications. so recently I've started applying directly on company websites and nothing has changed. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do at this point. While I'm very fortunate to have this support system and a partner who doesn't care about money... I want to start my life, man.

If anyone has any advice, I would be extremely grateful for your insight on my situation.
