Still no luck after an all night charge. One additional bit of info in case it might be useful, the power switch itself still seems to be working. It has the correct tactile feedback; and when the kindle is plugged into a charger the amber light comes on but will go off eventually if the power switch is held down, the led comes on again when the switch is released.

Are there any other suggestions? Would it make any since to post this over at the developers forum? They did seem to have had success unbricking Kindles, although the threads I read indicated that using a usb boot drive didn't work with the newer Kindles. Also, while Win7 installs a driver after a Windows Update search-

it still doesn't "see" the kindle even as an unknown device.

Many thanks,
Don
