P520 Frustration

In July my wife bought a refurbished P520, all was well until Septmber, then the camera wouldn't turn on anymore. After looking at the Nikon warranty program I waited until I could order a new battery and charger. So earlier this week the new battery and charger showed up. I did some looking around and found that a firmware update had come out that may solve my turn on problem, has to do with the GPS system. Great I thought, and I downloaded the firmware update. Back to square one I can't install the firmware unless the camera is turned on, and it is refusing to do so. I already have over $300 invested in the camera the extra battery and charger, Nikon estimated $125 to fix the camera, so I will end up paying over $400 for a $250 camera, don't think so.
My question to you guys is this, is there a way to do a hard reset before power up?
