I can not wake it via power button... but I have still the login prompt on the console (which is useless if I understood you correctly?).

So I will read up on the JB stuff and do this tomorrow (if I get time)... although I do not quite see how this will help with the screensaver!?
If you hold down the power button for 20 seconds, does the light flash and the device reboot? It could be the power button is broken on that.

Another way to test, if you have a magnet, you can try to wake the kindle up from the screensaver with the magnet. In the bottom right hand corner of the screen is the sleep/wake magnet sensor.

You can put a magnet on that corner, and then take it away. If everything is working right except the power buttons, that might wake it up.
