Gifted a Kindle Oasis, charged up and turned on. Every thing was working on previous's owners account. Reset to factory, and now it boots kindle splash, no loading bar, goes to white. Have tried multiple USB ports and cables. Verified my existing Kindle connects to PC, shows up at drive. Secondhand Oasis shows up in Explorer as USB drive, but no media on it "please insert disk into USB Drive: F"

Uninstalled device, updated drivers, rebooted, restarted, nothing.

Former owner was Mac user, doing this on PC cause nothing at all showed up when I plugged into MacOS.

Is the hard drive fried from the factory reset? It was just working! Have spent a few hours on this already, what do I try next? Thank you!
