So how where you expecting to use the serial port adapter if you knew in advance you wouldn't open the Kindle?

Is the device jailbroken?
If so, then you should be able to downgrade the 'main' system while running from the 'diags' system.

If not, then:
Choice one: Leave it alone and learn to love it.
Choice two: Change your mind about peeling the bezel off and using that serial port adapter.
