If you leave a lithium battery (such as the Kindle has) for too long without charge, the battery will be damaged and cannot be recharged. It sounds as if this is what's happened, unfortunately. The only solution is to replace the battery.

Did you plug it into a wall outlet, or your computer's USB port?
I'd try charging it via a wall outlet, and if that doesn't work, try with a different outlet adapter and a different USB cord. If that doesn't work, the battery is likely completely dead. |

Try leaving it plugged into a wall charger for several days. I'd left my old HP Touchpad unused for many months and it took a whole week connected to a wall charger to even get the "empty battery" screen displayed, there was absolutely no sign of life for 7 days (and rather surprisingly, the battery's been absolutely fine since)
