Q: error 9 when updating iOS

I encountered a problem this past weekend when updating my iPad 2's iOS from it's initial iOS, which had never been updated, to the newest iOS. I received the error 9, and was given the logo to connect to itunes. I tried restoring several times and kept getting the error 9, so I took it to the mac store. There, they insisted it was not due to updating the iOS, that one of the pieces of the motherboard got fried. 

I've backed up photos and transferred music many times from my macbook pro to this iPad using itunes, and never had a problem. Only when I tried to update the iOS did the iPad get bricked. How could I NOT assume that updating the iOS fried my iPad?

 

Does anyone have a solution to this?
