Tried flashing and made sure the diags and kernels match but it's stuck at the jagged screen which I now know is the boy under the tree in diag's resolution and the issue is that the battery is not charged enough for it to boot into diags.
Usually it would be an easy exchange with Amazon but since I am outside the US, shipping fees, which can add up to 90% of the value of the kindle 4 NT complicate the matter.
Anyway thank you very much for the assistance rendered here. I truly appreciate it.

wall charger.
Mine took circa 15 hours to charge from utterly flat when I tested it. (I drained it on purpose obviously)
Strange charging quirks I have noticed:
when using UsbForNetwork sometimes the device refuses to charge.
swapping to FAT mode and then "ejecting" from the PC fixes this intermittent weirdness.
DIAGS modes just flatten the battery, always BIG charge before trying them.
They don't even try to charge.
Probably more but those affect me the most.
