As such, I have tried uninstalling both and also uninstalling the launcher and jailbreak.
Is there any way to revert to the factory 5.1.2 firmware? The launcher menu is now empty but launcher is still an option when I press the menu button on the kindle. I have tried re-doing the jailbreak and reinstalling the simple screensaver but it's not worked; the screensavers folder is on my kindle and I've put 800x600 png files with the correct names in but they do not work
Any instructions on how to remove the launcher and the jailbreak would be appreciated so as I can start afresh

There are different jailbreak versions. You probably used the old 5.0.x firmware jailbreak, when you should have used the 5.1.x version from
ixtab.
You can restore a factory firmware image, or you can even install a 5.1.2 image with the jailbreak and JBPatch and USBnetworking pre-installed. You can find them in the Kindle Developer's Corner forum, in the "simple debricking" sticky thread. Look for the "K4/K5 small debricking guide" and the "debricking repair images" pastebin link.
