I got a bricked Kindle Touch, showing the "Your Kindle needs repair" screen
When I got it, when I plugged it in my computer, it would reboot (again to the error screen), but it would show as a drive for about a minute
I found about Kubrick, so I got an old PC and ran it, checking the Install jailbreak option and both erase/format options (since I wanted to wipe it anyway)
Once it was done, it rebooted to the language select screen, then it rebooted a few times with a flashing loading bar and the startup message... and now it's back to the same error screen. However, now it won't even show up properly on the computer, it shows as an empty drive!

What could I try now? Any diagnostics I should run?
