I have tried holding down the button while it's plugged in and while it's not plugged in, for the whole 30 seconds, with no luck.

Anyone have this same issue? Any tips on waking a non-responsive Kindle? It will sometimes flash from white to black but always comes back to the same restart screen.
Your best bet is to charge it for an entire day (or at least overnight) using a wall charger, then try to start it again.

If it still doesn't work, then: debrick it.

Kindle Touch devices have a long and not-so-glorious history of simply refusing to work for no particular reason.
