I have my new paperwhite now and am happy with that, but thought it would be nice to fix this old one if I could.
Is there a self-test I can run to see if it can read the eeeprom? Is there some way to manually write waveform data to the eeeprom?

Yes - try to display something in grayscale (you just did - it does not work).
No yet found. Plus: The K3 shipped with at least 3 different screens.
K3 devices are easy to open, see our master prefix index to find teardown directions.
Open it up and eyeball inspect the display cable - look for cracks (your s.o.l.) or of having come loose from the connector (happens).
