I have now uninstalled CRP from my PW3 (a bit risky perhaps considering that the touchscreen often does not work). However, I modified my KUAL script so it is now repeating a loop with my kindle video player showing my gmvid.gmv.xz (higher compression than .gz) with frontlight brightness set to maximum, and no USB cable. It is running only on my little LiPo in the dead battery frame as shown previously.

Because my script pauses the framework, it should play this video repeatedly until it drains the battery and shuts off. Time for some sleep now, and hopefully ready for the next step (charging a dead low (remaining) capacity battery, which was NOT successful with coward's rescue pack installed.

If it boots okay and charges the battery, that means we need to fix CRP, which I will attempt to do (a "boot main after five consecutive diags reboots, so it can charge" workaround, with frontlight off too). I will keep y'all posted.

To be continued...

EDIT: Over one hour of video at maximum frontlight brightness on my PW3 running only on my 500mAh LiPo battery, and still going strong. Next time I run this test I will need to setup logging with it, so I can see just how long it ran before battery exhaustion. I will need to do this test again during the CRP "low battery fix" testing anyway, so a good time to add logging to this battery-draining video player test script. Then perhaps another timed test with frontlight off, just for fun, eh? Signing off to get some sleep, and I expect a dead battery in the morning.
