I've had a couple of friends who've had the same thing happen (mine technically did too, but I know exactly why; I had a power outage while the console was smack dab in the middle of a firmware update!).

I told both of them to try this, and the results are 50-50. If yours happens to get to a usable state, the FIRST thing you should do is to turn off all automatic updates and downloads. Don't ever let a console that dies as soon as it loses juice from an adapter do things on its own. So many consoles have been bricked that way.
