For days I have been reading through the forum here  , and also experimented myself to solve my K3 issue - as of yet no positive result  .
My core issue is that I have a broken 'enter button' (the big square one in the 5 way navigator). Other then that I have a perfectly working kindle K3.
This mean I can't select or enter, can't read a book, can't click on settings, etc which makes it basically none functional.
Meanwhile I have been able to run Kubrick and completed it with success according to program, however, I wonder very much if the jailbroken version is now installed  ? It started basically back on where I left it last time after reboot and I don't see anything new on the screen. Again, I can't go to settings and just enter/select this tab to verify.
Second question: I understood one can install launchpad afterwards, but then again need the select/enter button to have it setup successfully? I would like to know if there is a way to not have to use the select/enter button so I can install it and afterward change the keyboard configuration to assign for example a 'p' or an 'h' as the ENTER button.
Your help and advise here to hopefully resolve the core issue is highly appreciated! 
It is so frustrating to have a perfect kindle, except for just one button, and not make use of it anymore.
P.S. already called Amazon, they can't help to fix it. |
Make a connection to the serial port.
The serial port connections are part of the lower cover connector.
Use our master index sticky (the one with "Where do I start?" in the title) to locate the information on the K3 serial port.
Note:
The serial interface is 1.8 volt, low-voltage ttl.
Be certain you are using the appropriate type of serial-usb adapter.
Once you get that up and working, let us know with a update to this thread.
