My DM42 died after a unsuccessful update
Downloaded and copied the firmware to the calculator, ejected the usb disk form computer. The update started och I removed the usb cable from calculator, the update stopped at 5%. After 10 minutes I tried to power off with no luck, tried the reset button with no luck. The screen still show update screen and 5% done. I removed the battery and installed it again, the screen went black with some lines. Removed the battery again and waited 10 minutes before I installed it again, now the screen is all black
Any tips that can help med to get it working again?

Do not disconnect the USB cable until you have completed the flash operation, which uses a lot of power and can cause the battery voltage to drop too low. All you have to do after disconnecting from your PC or MAC is to exit the USB Disk mode, and the flashing will complete automatically. I'm not saying that this is what happened in your case, but it is possible.
