Hello.

I'm trying to debrick a Kindle Keyboard 3G. It's stuck on the home screen and that doesn't change no matter what. Now I've charged it for a few days (it's been a couple of weeks or so, but not consistently, i.e. with breaks), and the light won't turn green. It's orange at first, turns off after a day or so and then it goes orange again immediately after reconnecting.

After all that charging, I decided to run Kubrick and see what's up. It detects the device after me presumably turning the USB Downloader mode on (the reader also shows up on my PC as "SE Blank Ringo"). It even takes me to the next steps, core flashing and main partition flashing and reports that the process has been successful. However, the first step takes about five seconds (instead of the 10-30 mentioned in the description) as does the second one (which should last for 1-3 hours). The device did not turn on after holding the power slide for several minutes. Am I correct in assuming that there's some hardware problem or is there something else I could attempt? The only thing that comes to mind is letting it charge even longer.

Thank you for your help in advance and another thanks goes to the amazing work you guys have put into this.
