(You might try that once every other day while waiting for it to 'fix' itself.)
Then put at the top of visible USB storage the file named:
DO_FACTORY_RESTORE
No extension, no contents, all capitals.
Remove USB cable and re-boot the Kindle.
If it is slow to come back up (depends on what all it has to fix), put it back on the wall charger and wait some more (measured in days if required).

That's an interesting tip! The battery was fine, I had been using it for several days without any problems. I just hadn't tried to plug it in to the computer for a while. Using a brand new cable seems to have fixed the problem.
