Hello Blanca,
I pulled the battery and the SIM card, let it sit for over a minute, put the SIM card back in, replaced the battery and powered on, same issue. It sits at the updating screen and does nothing.
The line on the sticker inside that says SKU: is 6420B

Please push the reset button to do a factory reset to see whether your device can be booted up normally.
Thanks
