Bricked Xbox Alpha Skip Ahead 9/16 Update

Hi it is a long story but just wanting to get in contact with an Xbox Staff member, I've contacted via mod message and they suggested I'd post on here. Also contacted Xbox Support with no response as of yet ... Here it goes.

I've been unemployed since August 28th. Most of my time is spent on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Ziprecruiter and Indeed. When I'm done I calm my anxiety of being denied any offers for work with my good ol' Xbox one launch console ... well on Saturday my GF threw a ball at me that ricocheted off my back hit a cup of water that then poured off the table and into my Xbox vent ... 2 days after Borderlands 3 came out. I sat with a blow dryer and did all I could waited some more and decided you know what f it I'm going to open it I need to dry any water asap. Luckily the Xbox wasn't on when it happened. So I dried & reassembled and it magically worked. Then it shut off after 10 min then I turned it on and it shut off after 5 min took it apart dried it some more this time there was some casualties. The inferred cable / wifi card snapped and the front ribbon thing came out but I didn't care the console turned on and it was working flawlessly once again. That is until tonight when after I got off borderlands the alpha skip ahead update decided to proceed ... the update bricked my xbox. I've restarted, unplugged, tried to reset both ways. I've attempted the offline update nothing works. Its stuck at 52% my gamertag is MoRage1621 I wish I could be making this shit up but I am not its legit beyond unfortunate. I have a tweet from Saturday talking about the accident and my most recent achievement was yesterday before the update. I don't have the means for a new xbox or to get it repaired. It was working fine for me until it got pushed with an update. If there's anything that can be done I'd greatly appreciate it or if there is a way to reverse the update mid install that would be great but I doubt anything can be done since my front panel is jacked hardware wise ... if nothing can be done by your team that's fine nothing left to lose to be honest anyways. Thanks for taking the time to read my problem reddit xbox insiders have a good one.
