Same thing happened to me. Your battery is dead. If you're in the U.S. you can order one for two day delivery from Amazon...

You'll have to use the old battery's lead. If you know how to solder that's best. I didn't, so I twisted the ends together and used electrician's tape. Seems to be working okay.

Here's my adventure into fixing my Kindle Mini. (It's still working well.) Be forewarned that I ramble a lot.
