If there's no voltage, then poke around the board with a multimeter to see if any electricity is flowing, especially to the CPU.

Keep us updated.
I got 1.735 on the serial pads

The light turns on but only if i connect the kindle to a power source otherwise only if i hold it for 8 secs in blinks 3 times, maybe it's the battery after all? i got a 3.9v from it and also checked the pads on the battery connection to see it charges it.
