What did you try to update to? I hoipe it wasn't OS6. The 2100 (V1) can't be updated to OS6. If you did try going to OS6, you may well have bricked the NAS. But you could try a USB recovery to the proper OS.

Try the USB recovery, it might get you back.
OS-6 requires a 64 bit x86 processor, and unfortunately several legacy 4.2.x NAS only had 32 bit processors. They can't be converted.
