Default unknown boot loop/brick

Hi all,
Ran into something new and may be educational to all of you at my moronic expense.
System Config:
Rooted with twerp recovery 2.0 and i am pretty sure i am running kernel 3.0. I have the Kindle fire utility as well as the Kindle Unbrick Utility

What i did:
one of my biggest enjoyments with this community is the folks at CM, so after flashing a new CM9 rom, i believe i left the fire too long without charging her. Battery died completely.

My problem:
plug the fire into the wall: power button turns green, screen lights and yellow triangle comes on with the "press power button for recovery' phrase.. after 15 seconds (approx) power button changes to orange and the fire reboots. power button turns green, screen lights and yellow triangle comes on with the "press power button for recovery' phrase.. and the process continues over and over again.

plug the fire into USB: same thing

Tried to use KFU:
fire will not mount so obviously device will not connect.
stuck at <waiting on device>
Device will not even register on the desktop. so the driver fix that is running around as of late failed

tried to shell with ADB: fire will not mount so obviously making a connection will not work

tried KUU:<error: device not found> and <waiting on device> are the returning messages.

I believe this is beyond the soft brick realm however, if any of you super developers out there can assist, I will greatly appreciate it.

thanks in advance

with that in mind, is there a way to charge the battery without having the KF power up or run through the loop it is currently in?

will it charge going through this perpetual cycle?
it seems when ever i plug anything in to attempt to charge the KF, it is vaulted into this cycle.

Having the exact same issue and no one seems to help past this point. :/ If you find an answer would you mind shooting it my way too? I've been searching for days about this.

While it's plugged in, hold the power button until it shuts down completely and leave it alone for a while. If that doesn't work, your next step is a factory programming cable.
Change is free, but not freely given.
