Kindle Touch screen issues

hi,

suddenly my kindle touch screen stop responding.
the screen image can change and i didn't think it was something broken (substrate or something) .. now not so sure.

so i tried almost everything:
- reboot the device (20s press)
- remove the battery
- jailbreak the device
- upgrade the OS
- even thought it was bricked (silly me) and tried Kubrick ... needless to say i struggled getting it back to boot normally because the screen wasn't working and got stuck in diags page .. did some search on the forum and got it back to boot.

I can add books to it, i can see the screensaver image changing but looks like the screen is dead (touch capacity gone) and have no idea why and if it can be repaired.

so i have 2 questions:
1. is it possible to figure what's wrong with it?
2. can I add an external keyboard easily and still use it as a kindle ?

if not maybe i can display some info from a rasperry pi on it ... I'm not sure if its feasible to replace the screen.

thanks a lot.
