Hello, been trying to get this guide to work. Not sure it will at this point. Kindles been charging as long as suggested if not longer. Pretty sure the storage on the device was badly corrupt so found this guide. Last thing before hard death was an attempted restart and stuck at please wait while your kindle restarts. Before was getting the green light. Heard mention of the ribbon cable and messed with it and momentary green light and showed loading progress, stopped in middle now nothing. Got to the point in the guide where you hit the program button, says reset usb, do that and gives reset board and make sure in bootstrap mode. Lost there. Any ideas?

Edit: correction the point where you hit program is actually not just reset usb, but "Failed to initial flash or Do not support this Flash, please reset the target" this was where I unplugged and replugged usb hit program and got the latter message. Is it wrong kernel perhaps? this is model d00901...ser b008 but pretty sure its right. The version it was showing before death and constant crashing was 3.4 could that be it?
