You probably want to contact RCA technical support. As far as I know though there is no force that you can do and most likely you will have to replace the main board. Anyway contact RCA technical support. Was there a particular reason you were updating the software?

Why does my RCA smart tv keep turning off and on by itself. I didn't have this problem until I upgraded my network in order to get my apps to load.

Sounds like corrupted firmware. A firmware update will make it OK. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience.

RCA L46WD22 LCD tv (3 year-old unit)...No picture, tried unplugging for a few hours to ''re-set'' the computer...nothing, tried to view a DVD, nothing, just a black screen with the ''unusable signal''...

The back lights inverter is working because you can see the "Unusable Signal' on the screen, if the inverter is dead, yoo will see nothing on the screen at all.
If the T-CON (LCD controller) is dead, you will see just gray glowing screen with no pictures or text.
You may have problem with video processor in the main logic board (tuner, audio, source selector).
Parts for your TV:

This is going to be difficult repair since you do have a way to try out the replacement board to be sure that is the problem. RCA service person has that advantage of parts in stock to try out.
I estimate the board from Jimmy to be about $150, from RCA will be twice as much, plus labor.

Please see my basic troubleshooting guide here:

Failed Firmware Update

You have learned a painful lesson the hard way - never do an upgrade or firmware upgrade unless it is absolutely necessary to do so. Often, the procedure fails and you are left with a nice paper weight. Bet you that you did not save the original firmware (or were not given the chance to do so). If you cannot get it from manufacturer you are SOL. But you have learned, haven't you? Good luck with RCA.
