My K4 stopped working last night. Wouldn't turn on, so I held power for 40 secs to reset, then the Kindle gets stuck on the tree screen. Progress indicator gets to about 20% and then stops (waited over an hour for it to finish booting).

So I found Kubrick 3.6 and downloaded the live CD. Launched it on an old PC and it recognized the K4, then successfully puts it into fastboot mode and then says it flashed the diags, but when it reboots to enter diag mode I get the same result -- it hangs on the "tree" screen with progress indicator stuck at around 20%.

Any suggestions on what to try next?
