Root Phone won't restart

I have an Android LG-P500h. It won't turn on after a softwware update.

Today I plugged it into Windows. Windows would not recognise it?? So I ran the LG Support Tool and re-installed the plug ins.

This other phone update application started running and began updating my phone!$!$?

Because it was a real support tool, I let it. It began flashing my phone. At some point in time, the phone fell into "emergency mode" and the "phone update" software could not communicate with the phone. It says "Please disconnect cable ... remove & connect battery. Power on your phone and press the restart button to resume update."

The phone won't even turn on now. Now what do I do? Have I lost my phone entirely? I have seen other posts, but no magic trick to start my phone.

My battery is fully charged up. That is not the issue.
