Bricked Kindle PW2 only shown as SE Blank MEGREZ

Hello everybody,

I'm new here and I hope I'm not breaking any rule - I'm very sorry if thats the case! My Kindle PW2 (Serial Nr 9017) froze on the Screensaver 2 weeks ago and I haven't been able to revive it since then. I have read a lot in this forum but I'm a little overwhelmed by the huge amount of information. I would be really thankful if someone could point me in the right direction on how to proceed with unbricking or if its even possible...

Current status
  • Frozen at Screensaver
  • 40s Long press results in flashing Power LED after a few seconds but nothing else.
  • Reports to Mac via USB as SE Blank MEGREZ
  • No Disk can be mounted using Mac
  • When charging: only yellow LED. Never green

Actions taken
  • I let it charge for several Days -> nothing happened
  • Use different Charger+Cable Combinations
  • I ordered a USB Serial Converter that will hopefully arrive soon.
  • I tried to read as much as possible in this forum

How should I proceed from here? Is there anything else left that I can try before soldering in the serial connection? And what instructions are the most up to date to follow for debricking via serial?

Thank you so much! Any help is appreciated..
