Assuming that it's out of warranty, if you phone Kindle Customer Service and explain the situation, they'll almost certainly offer you a discount on a new Kindle.

I did it, but after long press power button, (around 15sec) it made double or triple black/white flash, appear factory "kindle" screen with reader under tree and within minute it restart and all books are there. After plug back to computer and check content, the file "DO_FACTORY_RESTORE" is gone. After second attempt with longer hold (40secs) it happen exactle the same thing. No stuck for hours or days, kindle is back within a minute or so after this reset.
Any idea?

The above posts do apply to your situation.
The device is about 5 years old, it's time has come to be replaced.
Of course, you can still read the books that are on it until it dies completely.
These devices 'age' and a five year run is not at all bad.
Longer than some, shorter than others.
The four Kindle Touch (KT) devices I wrote about last night are all still working, some showing their 'age' more than others in the same pile.
The 'aging' of these electronic devices is very individual.
The closest any one can guess is what was posted above 2 .. 5 years.
