From that description - it sounds like you are encouraging it to self destruct. Really.
The long pause at that point is the Kindle trying to recover file system errors in the eMMC (flash) device.
If the Kindle runs out of power while the eMMC is internally active - it will self destruct.
So letting it run down while it is trying to fix file system errors is NOT A GOOD THING TO DO (tm).

Keep the device on a wall charger.
When you are ready to work on it over the serial port, let us know.
There is a very good (sticky) thread here about connecting to the serial port.
