If your Kindle connects to a PC and you can see all your files, the Kindle is not dead. There is something else going on here.

Did you install any hacks on your K3?
What firmware version are you on (3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3)?
Keep tryig the 15-20 sec restart (no longer than that). There is a bit on the support page saying to wait 5-10 mins after releasing the switch.

The green blinking light should be happening.

Green light at bottom of Kindle is blinking.

Possible cause:

1. The green LED light in the power switch at the bottom of your Kindle blinks when waking up your Kindle or putting it to sleep, and when shutting down your Kindle. Your Kindle is functioning normally.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you can reset your Kindle. Unplug your Kindle from the outlet or computer, slide and hold power button for 15 seconds, and wait for 5-10 minutes.
