so backstory first:

mother-outlaw drops off her kindle fire..... its stuck in a boot loop ( just keeps cycling the 'kindle fire' logo)

I initially had no idea what version of anything this was but later found S/N and determined to be KF 1

I have run all the utilities KUU, KFU, Etc.... none do anything

when I plug to the wall nothing at all just loop no lights.... when I initially turn it on I get a quick flash with some illegible pixels on screen like its trying to boot but then straight to loop

when I hook to computer using an actual data cable not normal USB.... after sitting overnight the orange light will at some point during the night come on and stay on..... today I let it sit with light on for about 8 hours while gone..... and when I reboot after the light has been on it will stay on as long as connected to computer

I truely have no idea of battery state, ie if its charging, if its charged, where its at, etc

I CAN see the device and issue reboot commands etc through ADB from computer

I am not opposed to total wipe/flash if needed.... of course since this is for my computer illiterate mother-outlaw Im sure it would be better to not start over ( I have confirmed with her however there is nothing that needs to be saved on the device, its for browsing and games only)

Suggestions? Fixes?

I have read hundreds of pages on this forum and others and its all just a jumbled mess in my mind by now..... so now Im calling for HELP
