The screen stays showing what it was last showing without power. There's a chance the battery is dead or failed and it's just not powering on.

Did you try pressing the power button for long enough that it powers down completely? It used to be something like 10 seconds, check for your model.

It has never been possible to power kindles down completely with the power button.

It only blanks the screen. It doesn't actually power off.

Leave it charging for at least a day. If it doesn't reboot with the long power button presses (do it 3 x) then it likely needs a new battery.
