Comment:

 Tried to flash an XO 1.75 B1 with Q4C02 on it to Q4C04 after verifying the
 power button blinked briefly when the power button was pressed without
 reflashing.

 Pressed the button while Writing was displayed during the update and the
 power button flashed.  Held the button down while writing was still going
 on and the XO shut down without completing the update of OFW, bricking
 itself.

 I need to know if this was expected or not, but don't think it was.
