Hi,

Given the age of the device and the fact that it has never been used, there’s a fair chance that the battery has failed and is beyond recovery and needs to be replaced.

Here’s a link to the ifixit Kindle 3 Battery Replacement guide.

Here’s a link to a supplier of a replacement battery for a Kindle 3. The link is also on the battery replacement guide listed under parts.
