It would be rather odd that after charging the device for a couple of hours (and given that it was not fully discharge to start with), the battery could have been empty or that the process of factory reset took all the power in it...

The problem is that you don't know what is wrong. It is possible the device went into an endless loop and drained the battery. Or it could have shut itself off and is not using any power at all. If the screen still looks like the first post, you have absolutely no idea what the actual battery level is. This is why the first step of all the rescue instructions is to charge the battery. If the battery is flat, nothing you do will get a response from the device and the device will stay dead.
