After spending time reading through the forums, and the various threads therein, and after downloading the guides/softwares/etc--including Kubrick--I'm starting to think my Kindle Touch is hopelessly bricked.

Backing up; plugged it in to charge yesterday. Took off the charger, and brought it with me to the mall. Sitting down to eat, noticed it was displaying an ad for a novel. Trying to press the power button, there was no response. Later on, it switched to the "Please ensure your Kindle is registered and connect wirelessly to receive the latest Special Offers." <--there it has stayed since. I've taken the back cover off, and pulled the battery. Subsequent to that I can seemingly get it into download mode, but it won't switch to fastboot, and only show up in Windows as "HID compliant vendor-defined device."

Nothing I do seems to change the display in any way, shape, or form.

Am I hopelessly bricked here?
