What I did was that I executed U-boot command "eraseall". I hope I haven't damaged SoC bootcode with this command. Why I call it dead it's because even USB id code says so when I connect it to computer. Kindle now is only recognized as USB charger and I can't even reboot it. It look pretty dead for now, but I hope it can still be restored.
Enable a 'capture log' in the terminal emulator you have attached to the serial port -
Do a '30 second press' of the power button to re-boot -
Save the entire capture log, compress it, attach to your next post.

Just saying "its dead" is not much more informative than saying "its broke".
