I'm going to do it ... but I'm still worried, especially that it has a Lithium-Polymer battery.

It isn't the freezer step that collects condensation, it is the removal to room air (which is done while on the wall charger).
Drone people, heavy users of Li-Po, say that one shouldn't connect a Li-Po to a charger while cold.
But it's all hearsay anyhow, and it isn't like I really have a whole lot of options aside from the good ol' freeze.

The light is computer controlled.
Is your Kindle computer operating normally?
Duh...
Ignore the light.
I know (I played with the LED tests in diags and I believe they have a node under /dev), but I guessed that since the Kindle is too "weak" to even read the eMMC and get code to let software operate the LED, it might be, for once, reliable.

PS: The above works for as new as PW3 (I haven't deep discharged anything newer (yet) ).
If I read you correctly, could the issue be, no matter how remotely, a deep-discharged battery?
Or, is there any hope at all?
