In another post recently where I asked a tutorial on changing the battery was linked and it is possible.
Green screen is the poor quality greenish screen with low contrast that plagues a lot of Kindles due to crap quality control. I went through several before I got a beautiful screen.

I went back and read it again. I had to read it three times (slower each time) before I caught the "wireless off" part near the end. My mind is full of some new code I am working that must have distracted me. Sorry. Regarding indexing, it might decide to index again even while asleep, if a recent "phone home" had loaded some new unindexed content (such as a subscription).
I would love to read about how they changed the battery. When I tried lifting my battery it was stretching the battery wrapper almost to the point of tearing, but the glue did not budge. Perhaps they are using different glue now. Please provide a link to your K4 battery removal reference. Thanks.
EDIT: Nevermind. Found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO1Tg2OsPjU
Hmm... There is no FREAKING way that MY battery would come out like that. I tried. Besides, after removing his battery you could see 5 scratches on the glue. He had already removed it before. In the video it was not even glued in (except for slight stickiness of the remaining glue). They want to make it look easier than it is to sell more battery replacements... 
I suspect that they may have HEATED the battery the first time, enough to melt the glue (which may also damage the battery if it gets too hot). Also, some K4s may have more glue, or stronger glue.
