I tried that several times, but unfortunately it is 100% dead. I tried pulling power probably 10+ times, but same result every time. Ethernet strobes then goes dark, and only power pass through works.
Comment on Firmware update bricked dock

Yes. Every reboot seems like a lottery. Hdmi, hdmi audio or USB connected peripherals might not work.
If something is missing, disconnecting dock power and deck connection for a moment and you’ll get a reroll and everything might work.

My problems aren’t necessarily caused by the dock firmware.
I used a cheap dongle I bought from a local supermarket a year ago to connect to my living room TV. It had worked fine in the past, but now I had to boot the deck 4 times to get clean picture and audio.
Culprit is definitely the Steam OS update 3.5.5.
I updated the dock firmware right after that update. It actually failed two times and it only worked after I connected the dock with wire directly instead of decks wifi.

Good to know I’m not the only one. Since updating the dock, HDMI out to my TV doesn’t work from time to time. I thought it was related to the new HDR settings, but apparently not.
