[Help] Kindle 3G Screen Frozen

Hello everyone!
I’ve recently been trying to make a Kindlet for my Kindle 3G (acquired around a year ago from eBay). But a couple days ago, I noticed that it wouldn’t turn on and wouldn’t force restart. The screen stayed on the custom screensaver and wouldn’t change (I installed the screensaver and fonts tweak as well as KUAL and several Kindlets)
I tried force restarting to no avail. I wasn’t too worried since this had happened before and it restarted after a while. I decided to plug it in overnight. Here’s what happened next:
Day 1 - Panic Level: 2/10
It wouldn’t turn on. It's stuck on the custom screensaver.
Day 2 - Panic Level: 5/10
It still won’t turn on, even after charging overnight. The power switch light does not turn green when pressed. It does turn yellow when charging. After charging again for around 5 seconds it turns green when pressed. I don’t know much about kindles but I assume this means there’s some way to recover it since the light works.
Day 3 - Panic Level: 11/10!!!
I’ve tried all the methods on the internet for force restarting and resetting a Kindle 3G! The screen still won’t change from the screensaver I set!
Day 4 - Panic Level 8/10
Today I’m posting on this forum. Is my kindle bricked? And if so, should I use Kubrick Debricker? Is there any way to recover my kindle and continue creating Kindlets?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
