Did you skip update 1.13 by updating from 1.12 directly to 1.14? If so, here's hoping you did not brick the camera. You need to contact Nikon and talk to them. You might want to also look at:

Nikon | Download center | D500 Firmware

or the equivalent page for Ireland. This talks about how you might have to run the update twice.

To brick a camera means to turn it into something as useful as brick. Since Nikon Wants the camera back, this would seem to indicate the update "Bricked your camera!"

Update, spoke with the service centre today and its a simple fix which they do on a regular basis, the turnaround should be about 7 days
