I bought a bricked KT very cheaply on ebay intended for spare parts. But I got curious whether I could get it working again. Access via normal USB to the kindle's file system is not possible. First tried Kubrick then Silver18's guide. I can get into fastboot mode and flash diags. Everything up to step 9) in Silver18's guide works fine but then the KT does not boot into diags. Just a screen briefly flashing black and white and then the man under tree picture again with nothing happening (except the battery getting drained: after a few hours I get the empty battery screen). Same thing happens with Kubrick: does not boot into diags. I loaded the battery in fastboot mode for more than 20 hours. I erased the userdata (fastboot erase data) but nothing changed. Is there anything else I could try from fastboot mode?
(I found one similar case, post#158 in the Kubrick thread but apparently in that case the kindle did eventually boot into diags after 2 days, this does not happen in my case).
