Hi,
I have a K3 for reading purposes and I was looking for a high resolution e-ink display for a custom project with a mirror and bought a faulty kindle voyage.
Supposedly it shouldn't even be turning on, but the thing is, once I connected it to a charger, the background light lit up and the amber led turned on. Every 5/10 seconds the light goes off and on again and it seems to be stuck here.
Without the charging cable, if I press the power button the led turns green for a second and then disappears and the same behaviour ( light on and off every x seconds ).
This is the link to the video in case you can't see it here:

So now I'm thinking that there may be a solution for this voyage. I do have several spare USB TTL adapters and I'm going to mod one for the 1.8v.
I've seen several tutorials for the jailbreak, but none for the firmware flash from scratch ( for this specific model ). I've also used the search and the wiki links but they are empty. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Does this look like something fixable or should I just skip this step and go straight to disassembly to remove the screen?
