1st or 2nd gen by hardware

Is there any way to tell which generation a Kindle is by the motherboard?
I got this Fire at a garage sale and it won't boot. The battery was dead so I switched the batteries out with another KF that was 100% charged. Now it will boot to the blue and white fff screen with v1.4a in the top right corner. Then the button light turns orange and shuts off.
I need to know if it is 1st or 2nd generation before I go any farther.
The motherboard is a 31KC1MB00E0 and the only ones I have found where on ebay and said the were pulled from 2nd generation kindles. But I want to be sure.
Thanks for any help.
