USB cable, PC to Kindle -
At top of visible USB storage, place the following filename (note: you may have to do this several times, until you happen to hit a working spot in the storage device):
DO_FACTORY_RESTORE
No extension, be certain that your PC OS does not add an extension.
All capitals.
No contents.
Disconnect USB cable, re-boot Kindle.
If the filename you added was actually written to the device, and found during the re-boot start-up, the Kindle will enter a file system repair operation.
The Kindle display will look as if the Kindle is frozen showing the boy under the tree.
If it proceeds past that point in only a few minutes, the "DO_FACTORY_RESTORE" file name was not actually written to the device.
Repeat trying to put the name on the device and re-booting, again.
Once it seems to be stuck showing the boy under the tree, put it on a wall charger and wait.
The file system test and repair is very slow, it will take from days to a week or two to complete. Keep it on the charger the entire time.

Hi knc1. I did EXACTLY that few times, only result I got was restart within few minutes. Kindle never stuck for hours neither week.
No worry, I took extra care that file is "DO_FACTORY_RESTORE" and without extension. I even changed view rules for win folders, to see if there is anything hidden.
So I think it's more serious problem and gave up. I already ordered new kindle paperwhite. So if you wish to play with this one, I can send it to you
