mewmartigan - You should talk to Kindle CS about it. They'll be able to tell you if its the Kindle itself that is faulty or something else.

Dave at EEVblog showed in his video that you can short out all the connections without causing the Kindle to crash or even temporarily blip.
The serial port is for development and diagnostics. The older Kindle models had the serial port inside and you would need to open the Kindle to get at it.
