So, I got a kindle 10th gen(WiFI, 8GB) as a gift for xmas, serial number starts with "g090 vb" so it seemed like it actually was a PW4. So, after sending the factory firmware, it installed it, but after the "update successful" popped up, it went to the tree screen. where it says "Please Wait a moment while your kindle starts up"
when I hold the power button, the button does its green and amber thing. but nothing happens on screen. Tried holding it as well for upwards of 5 mins.

When I plug it into my computer, it shows up in device manager as "SP Blank 6SLL" have I fucked up my device?
