Attach it to the post rather than in-line it.
In the editor box, choose the 'advanced' editor, scroll down past the text entry box to the 'manage attachments' sections.

There are two different PW-2 models -
Yours must have been the 4Gbyte model.
I am not sure if the 2Gbyte model used the SDIN7DP2 series of eMMC devices, so a user considering this upgrade for an early PW-2 (2Gbyte) should check the part number of the eMMC device.
It may be a different series of parts (different pin-out (ball-out?
) ).
I do know that the firmware for the old model (2Gbyte) will not recognize the new model (4Gbyte) eMMC. Which suggests that it is a different part series.

For the curious - it is about a $10 part and most major distributors will sell them one at a time.

This thread includes the information on how to get the dram running, which is an open question here in another thread (somebody here needed that information).

There is a fairly recent thread here about recovering an erased Kindle using Fastboot.
That thread started with a working install of u-boot, but once you reach that point in this thread, you can also use the additional info in that other thread.
Notes:
That other thread has a lot of log files attached, so you can see what you should expect.
If that other thread is for a different model, the procedure is still the same.

PS:
You don't have to format mmcblk0p1 - the recovery install will do that for you anyway.
You don't have to use 'diags' menu to do the recovery install - you can do that from initramfs (I.E: only u-boot and kernel installed, a 'diags' install is optional).
The recovery install will also re-size mmcblk0p4 to use all the remaining (extra 4Gbyte) of space for you.
