I've successfully used Kubrick in the past, but it is not working for me in this case. My Kindle 3 started randomly freezing, and would restart eventually (hard restart) I tried charging its battery overnight, and it froze completely. I tried Kubrick several times, and when I get to "flashing main partition" it finishes in seconds. I've several DVDs/Cds -- same thing. For some reason, I can't get USB drive to boot on my computer -- I see it, but it won't boot. Now my Kindle is completely frozen and appears as SE Blank Ringo when plugged into my computer. I have I really killed it? I loved this old thing! It's been through a couple of screens!
