Edit: Tried the amazon support and they just offered me a 15 usd discount in a new one. I bought it 14 months ago and now I'll have to buy and new one just for updating the firmware. It's really sad.

It's alive!!!
I left it plugged 3 days and then unplugged because I was leaving for summer holidays. I went back 2 weeks later and it had no battery, I plugged it again and it returned to the same spot. Tried to reset it again with no result.
So... I kept looking at it every day, pluggin in, resetting, trying to get it to appear as a device on my PC with no results. Also, as I didn't had it allways plugged to power it would get to no battery pretty often (the screen was always on).
Finally, I decided to give it a last chance, leaving it always plugged to power and started looking for a replacement. Yesterday, or 3 or 4 days since I plugged it again, I woke up to find my PW3 showing some ad for a bad book and I can't express how happy I'm.
As some of you had said on a lot of other posts I read, it fixed itself... I couldn't believe that would work, but 1 week later I've a Kindle again! It's time to start reading every book that I thought this month I wouldn't have a chance to read until I could buy a new one...
Thank you everybody!
Edit: I just did a factory reset settings because the kindle wasn't showing any book cover (even on goodreads). And now it's working flawlessly.
