The display haven't changed in anyway. I tried to press the button for about 2 mins I think nothing happened. It's still on the charger.

Many thanks,

Needing a new battery was a good guess from your description, I probably would have said the same.

Hmm....
But a new battery, and leaving it on a charger, didn't fix it.
So something else must have happened to it.
(Cat had kittens on it in the closet?)

Actually, something else happened to it before the battery ran down - -
It should have first shown a "low battery" page and then later, a "critical battery" page (and the electronics would have powered down).
But those things did not happen.
I.E: Something was wrong back then, before the battery died.

Since the WiFi was on - it may have downloaded and tried to install an update, while not having enough battery capacity to complete.
Kindles have been known to self-destruct under such conditions.

I think you now have a used e-ink screen and other parts for sale..
