If you are trying to charge it via USB and your computer, try a wall charger instead. It will likely take several hours before it has enough charge to turn on.

If that doesn't work, the battery is no doubt dead.

It's the Kindle 4 "Basic" (or non-touch). If it's silver (graphite) it's the first generation. If it's black, it's the second generation Kindle 4. Some people call the 2nd generation Kindle 4, a "Kindle 5" -- but that should apply to the Kindle Touch, as the Basic uses firmware 4.x and the Touch uses firmware 5.x. (At least, that makes it's easier for me to think of it this way.)

1. Go the the Manage Your Kindle page at Amazon.

2. Click through to Your Devices. You will see a list of all the devices or applications registered to your account, along with photos where appropriate.

3. Look for the device whose photo matches yours. The caption will tell you which Kindle you have.
