Short story: I plugged my kindle to charge. Went back after a hour or so, and kindle was unresponsive, only showing screensaver.

Things I tried:
Holding down power button( the orange light flashes a few times, but no effect)
Charging overnight( Green light never comes up, only orange)
Disassembling and disconnecting battery ( no effect)

Is there any way to recover it? Can I flash it with serial cable even if's completely frozen? If yes, which one I should buy?
The device is not jailbroken.

Also, the device gets quite hot when being charged. But not the battery itself.
Thanks for help

Also when you connect it to computer, you can hear the sound that the device is connected, but instantly after that there is sound that device is disconnected, so it doesn't appear as usb device.
