I hard bricked my Kindle Fire 2nd Gen. Flashed an incorrect bootloader I believe. It no won't turn on at all and the computer does not recognize anything being plugged in. Not even with a fastboot cable.

My question is this - Is the bootloader flashed into a chip on the motherboard? I can get another working motherboard. I just want to make sure that the bootloader is not located in another part of the Kindle before I go that route. My suspicions are that it is indeed part of the motherboard after seeing the unbrick post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415870

Would a new motherboard fix a bootloader that was flashed with the wrong file so i can start over?
