I left it plugged in over night, and this morning I measured 3.7V over the battery terminals, which I gather is a Good Sign™.

It booted once or twice, and even let me choose a book once, but then it hung.

When plugged in to a PC it once showed up as a Kindle and once as "MX 35 / SE Blank RINGO", which I believe is a fall-back mode of the SoC.

I'll leave it plugged in for another couple of days, but it may well be that the battery is dead. If so, where can one find a trusted replacement battery? I see a bunch of them on eBay, but I'm a bit weary of buying lithium batteries from unknown sellers, as there's no way of knowing how (and how long) they've been shelved.
