I had the exact problem described by Zirowe at the start of this thread and was looking for a solution and came across what seems to be the best option so far from tccsargent posted 09-21-2013.
When I first came across it I was reluctant to try it for 3 reasons: I had hastily thrown out my old cracked screen; it wasn't a major problem as I could still read books, only images were corrupted; and I didn't want to have to reinstall the hacks I had so much fun with after a factory reset.

But then I got thinking...
If a restart will bring back the bad waveform, why wouldn't a restart install the good waveform?
So I opened my sons Kindle to try this with his screen and bingo!
it worked beautifully.
A simple restart rather than a factory reset did the job for me.
Thanks to all whose wisdom I have benefited from. I've been having lots of fun with my Kindle 3 over the last few days, learning heaps from this wonderful forum about how it works and what can be done with it.
Cheers.
