My Kindle Died. Help me revive it.

My Kindle went dead this morning. I live in India. It is out of warranty. Initially the slide to switch did not respond. The screen was stuck at screensaver. PC did not detect it either. I removed the back cover. Took out the battery. Replaced it. Put the back cover. Now the PC detects it. Screen is totally blank. Bought in August 2011.

I am considering replacing its battery. It'll cost me about 1.8k and still would not guarantee if it will work.

Is there any way to confirm if my battery has really died or something's wrong with the Kindle?
