My Kindle went dead this morning. I live in India. It is out of warranty. Initially the slide to switch did not respond. The screen was stuck at screensaver. PC did not detect it either. I removed the back cover. Took out the battery. Replaced it. Put the back cover. Now the PC detects it. Screen is totally blank. When I try to restart it by holding the switch for 20 seconds, after 7-8 seconds the green light flashes three times. Nothing happens. Is my battery dead? I bought it in August 2011 through a middleman shopyourworld.com

Suggest me some more troubleshooting.

I am considering replacing its battery. It'll cost me about 35$ and still would not guarantee if it will work.

Is there any way to detect if my battery has died or the something's wrong with the display.
