More details: In the case that your firmware is corrupted for some reason, reflashing it (simple debricking method) might help. The available good fimware image is version 3.0.2, which you can then update to the latest 3.4 (in stages as described at amazon).

EDIT: You cannot trust the power LED to show the charge status on a bricked Kindle. It can take up to 20 hours with a power adapter to recharge a discharged battery when the Kindle is bricked, because the firmware controls the charging and it defaults to a "slow charge curve".
