Kong Mod (2018-05-31) upgrade failed

I've been using DD-WRT Kong Mod on a Netgear R6700 for over 3 years.  When I installed the 2018-05-31 upgrade, my router stopped working.  It reported that the upgrade was successful, and I waited 20 minutes, but it never restarted.  When I cycle the power, it still does not restart.  I cannot communicate with it via ethernet.  I would appreciate any recovery suggestions.

Do you see a blinking power

Do you see a blinking power light ? I don't have that particular router but it sounds like it bricked for whatever reason. There's the option of opening up the router and connecting a serial cable to the pins on the router board...

I fixed it with a hard reset,

I fixed it with a hard reset, which revived it.  Then I reinstalled the upgrade.
