I have a Gen1 Nvidia Shield.

For the last few days the screen looks like this...

The bright line looks a bit like a Cylon.

Is it ok to just pull the power out and stick it back in again?

I went to use it a couple of days ago and the screen was like that, so I left it presuming it was in progress.

I just checked it again now and see it has not changed.

I did not initiate the upgrade, its done it all by itself.

Pretty sure the same thing happened on my 2017 Shield a week or two back. I think I did initiate the upgrade. I got fed up waiting for nothing to happen, and was surprised when the back button took me straight to the home screen. Glad it wasn't just mine, then!

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.
