Yes to both.

Although geekmaster seems to imply in his last post here that he thinks the device is not repairable; what he actually points out is not proof to the contrary, just interesting observations.

I think it can be restored to operation.
It would be an interesting technical exercise but the time and effort is not worth the 20euro you have in the device.

The Kindle3 has not been on the market long enough for mmc chips to begin to degrade in any significant numbers.
So fixing only yours, now, would not be of any general benefit.
Maybe in five years the topic would be of enough interest to work through the process.

Just discard this device or keep it for spare parts.
