If you brake power you may damage irreparably the unit, you will need to call Toshiba tech support by phone.
Follow instruction from Toshiba Tech support, so that they take responsibility if the unit is damaged during update procedure. They will probably suggest you to start pressing the power button for 5 seconds and to unplug power cord.
If unit gets damaged, ask a replacement.
In USA call the number on the owner manual, or call the general Toshiba customer support at (800) 457-7777.
If the unit does restart just do again software update.
If the unit does not restart, that means that the firmware is corrupted, and you will need to take it to an authorized toshiba repair service.

unplug it! this will not hurt the unit , if all electronics was dammaged from loss of power then no one would want to buy any electronics!
the next thing to do is get a cleaning cd that will clean the laser eye. as these collect dust and other stuff. and it is most common for them to get dirty and start messing up. so clean the laser eye first!
then if that don't work then it will have to be cleaned manually
it is froze up and if you leave it like that your going to have more problems then it not erasing disk's!
do not do a firmware update , the disk's that update sometimes are messed up and can ruin the unit
it's not worth it!
if you need more help , just ask!
