These devices don't seem to go back together cleanly, I'm reluctant to crack one open. Besides, the wiki doesn't reference any serial pads for the PW3 specifically. Does anyone know if they're still there?

I have never had that experience. The glue is very much reusable and the bezel does not deform as it is removed.
Your experience might have something to do with how you take them apart.
Do wear boxing gloves when you work on them?
All devices, from K4 to 8th generation (except the Oasis) use the same serial port connector and connector pin out.
The only change is its physical location on the board and in the case of some K4 devices, the connector is already mounted.
That last question reads as if you haven't looked.
I wrote up the PW-3 on its official release date.

Plus the knowledge that all touchscreen devices (except the Oasis) use the same connector pad pin-out should let you translate those images to the directions and pictures written for a different touchscreen model.
Yes, that is the thread that starts out with the step-by-step directions to recover the initial factory image - as used in this jailbreak procedure.
Note: Lab126 made changes so that the described procedure no longer works.
But for the Kindle Trivia nuts out there, that is how this jb process research began.
Amazon slipped in their shipping computations, my PW-3 arrived the day before it was released.
