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).
If I recall correctly - in the case you mentioned, the Kindle was repairing one of the flash memory file systems - -
Which can be a very long and power consuming process.

Just keep it under external power,
and when (if) it runs down, recharge it again,
wait.
like, wait a lot.

(why not? your not going to be using it for anything else. )
