I unplugged my PW1 one second too early from Calibre. Some error appeared on the screen, I pressed home buton for couple of seconds and chose "Restart". After that my Kindle is booting with a guy and the tree on the screen but without progress bar. I waited over 1 hour and nothing changed.
Is it bricked or I should wait more? I tried to restart it by pressing home button for over 40 seconds - same thing. It's not becoming hot.

Kindle is visible as a device on the system (Windows and Linux - dmesg) but it's storage is not visible.
