And GIMP'd it almost to death to supplement this thread for the PW2 owners.

Not shown is a good place to pick-up the 1v8 interface reference lead.
Someone with an open'd PW2 please assist in finding a good reference point to use.
After GIMP'ing that PW2 pic some more (see attachment), I am not sure if the control leads have been de-populated or not.

Someone with an open PW2 please check S501 and S502 pad sites for me.

Hint: helps if you have a mirror so you can watch both the display and what you are doing on the back-side.

Tests:
Use a short, stiff, length of light gage, insulated wire - stripped bare at both ends. Something like 20 .. 24 gage solid wire will do fine.

Hold by remaining insulation (I.E: protect Kindle wiring from human body static).

Momentarily connect one of the called out, proposed, connection points to gnd.

S501: Expect an immediate, hardware triggered, full re-boot.

S502: Expect the Kindle to "turn off" (with cleared screen) or to "turn on" (I.E: resume).

If the missing CR500 and CR501 are required, nothing will happen (nor will any harm be done).
If they **are not** required - then the controls should work as expected (and no harm will be done).

Note: the above tests have been performed on the KT2 and they work exactly as labeled.

Note: You might want to forego the coffee for a few hours prior to the above testing - -
The test points are a tad bit smaller in real-life than shown in the picture attached.
Steady hands are required.
