iPad 1st Generation Error 1602...

Hey guys I've got a problem. I have this iPad 1st Generation 32GB with Cellular Service that I got. Bought from someone who couldn't fix it for cheap and now I know the extent of why he sold it to me. The iPad is in a constant boot loop and no matter what it won't stop. So I decided I would just do a restore and try to fix the issue that way. Nope, I get the error...

"The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1602)."

The more I research the topic all I come across are sketchy youtube videos where you have to download certain software off of sites that seem suspect. I've used 3 different computers including my MacBook and nothing seems to work. If you guys have any clue on how to fix this issue let me know. Obviously this iPad is a bit old by todays technology standards and can only run up to iOS 5.1. If you can help me out that would be great, thank you!

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

Please help having the same problem but I was wondering if the battery was completely dead would still update the 5.1 in the ipad? I downloaded the software whilst ipad connect but upon installing once it goes off it fails to turn on its like the computers have got less power to even bring the Apple logo but if I connect to the wall charger the Apple logo shows up on and off its been 3days on wall charger now. So I still come back to my question about the battery, how would you know it's completely dead?
