Help!

I have a DXG that is only about five months old. I've been running Duokan on it almost since day one. The other day, I plugged it into my computer and it turned on but didn't go to the USB screen, and my computer didn't find it.

When I unplugged the USB cable, the Kindle's screen stayed on the main menu, and the clock wasn't changing--the Kindle was frozen.

I was only able to shut it off by holding the power switch for about 10 seconds, so now the screen is completely blank and I can't turn it back on.

When I plug it into a power outlet, nothing happens. The screen doesn't even flicker, so I can't get into Recovery Mode.

Is this what bricking looks like? Is there anything I can do to save it?
