Haha! Nope, I plugged it in right!

I checked the book file that I was reading at the time, and it is relatively small compared to other files in my possession. The kindle was accurately showing the cover of the book I was reading. The book was previously in epub format, and I had converted it into mobi using Calibre. I don't know if that could matter at all, but I figured I'd throw that out there since the actual book file is being called into question.

It is still stuck on the screensaver after the hard reset. Prior to doing the hard reset, the backlight and charging light would come on when I pressed the power button. It would also show up on my computer when I plugged it in using the USB cable. Now it does absolutely nothing and is stuck on the book cover screensaver.

I have noticed that the backlight on the new kindle is MUCH BRIGHTER than it was on the kindle that is now dead. Could that be an indicator that it was on it's way out?
