It may be:

Just trying to restore the file system (a slow process) - Dave's suggestion covers that possibility.

Or a problem with the battery charge regulation / firmware logic (common).
To cover this possibility, put the Kindle in a freezer for at least a day (to be certain the battery internals are cold - there is a mini-controller in there) -
Wrap in soft cloth when taking from freezer (to reduce the chance of condensation on/in the Kindle) -
Then (while cold) put on wall charger for at least a few days.

Ignore the light in all cases.
