Related food for thought,
After playing with my broken PW, I have a suspicion that the usb boot mode may work only if the device has no battery. I know if I plug into my PC with the batter unhooked, something connects to the computer and then disconnects, and the light on the kindle starts flashing.
so @Hexadecimal, if you were going to try to trigger the usb boot somehow, you might try with that.
But I know there is a difference between USB Boot mode and USB download mode, I cannot remember what it is. It is possible this USB boot pad is mislabeled and actually triggers usb download, or it is also possible that its real usb boot.
