NX-M 9mm Lens bricked after firmware update attempt

I'm pretty sure this is going to have to go back to Samsung, but thought I'd try here first. I received an NX Mini with 9mm lens today. After fully charging the battery I attached the camera and lens to the PC and ran i-Launcher. It downloaded FW v1.10 for both the camera and the lens. Once downloaded onto the camera memory card, I disconnected the camera and ran the update for the camera body. That went well, so moved onto the lens. The flap that covers the battery and memory card slot was open and I accidentally touched the memory card causing it to eject. The camera powered down whilst the lens firmware was still updating and when I powered it on I noticed the lens wasn't extending or retracting. In the camera information menu the camera firmware shows v1.10, but the lens is no longer recognised by the camera, so I can't re-run the firmware update. I-Launcher also doesn't recognise the lens. The lens no longer functions at all.
