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.

This works! Grayscale restored, and now I can read my PDF's without losing my nice screensavers!
Thanks a million for fixing broken kindle 3 screen replacement.
(hopefully that directs some googlers here!)
For those just reading this post now: Once you've installed your new screen, keep the back cover off....unplug your new screen, plug in your old broken screen and reset. Once your kindle starts back up (give it a minute or two), just plug your new screen back in, and it should be running great.
THanks guys.
