Well, my bad. Apparently, I got the wrong battery.... mc-354775-03 instead of mc-354775-05. Looks identical, 3.7V, same mounting points, etc. But it has different pinouts... and 4 pinouts instead of 3. D'ooohhh. I reinstalled the old battery and connected the Kindle to a computer and voila, it was back. I need to get another battery.
