Hmmmm "Doesn't work" in the sense that when you pressed it the screen didn't change?

This thread is titled "Kindle 4 NT: No SSH" - so do you have SSH access or not...
Because if you DO then that might not be a bad idea.

Are you saying the device is "Stuck" in debug mode.

At this point I think it more likely the screen is actually broken.
What happens when you Hold down the power for 20 seconds.

Does the screen flash? Do the lights change?

If the lights change and the screen does nothing I would guess that the screen(/screen controller) is actually toast.

EDIT: However I currently have a few kindle 3's that also fail to update the screen and I know those screens work.

Serial cable time.
