Hi all,
A couple weeks ago I think I bricked my paperwhite. It was dead and so I plugged it into a charger, as this happened and the screen started to boot up my dog ran past and knocked the wire out the kindle. I quickly placed it back on charge but ever since it has remained on the startup tree screen.

I've done some reading on the forum and tried leaving it on charge for days but don't seem to be getting much luck. I'll admit too I've read a lot of the threads but don't understand everything I'm reading.

Currently it is not recognised on windows when I plug it in, I changed the battery today as I thought that was the issue and so I'm leaving it to charge up again currently but thought I'd ask for more advice in the meantime incase I'm missing something glaringly obvious.

I have a screenshot of my USBDView if this is useful. I did try plugging it in to the laptop when it had no battery in yesterday and all it did was the little light at the bottom flashed orange repeatedly until removed.
