Four pieces of information:
- Serial number (you have that)
- Wi-Fi MAC address
- Board ID (referred to as 'mfg')
- PCB serial number ('pcbsn')

Your options are:
- Get these from a working unit.
- Hack up U-Boot to make it capable of initializing the board's DRAM without knowing what Kindle model this is (you have to read, modify, and compile the Lab126 U-Boot source code for this to happen). It's theoretically a check that you have to replace with a hardcoded value.
- Try random values (especially for Board ID) until something works.
- Try a sector-by-sector recovery of the internal eMMC to see if you can recover your board IDs. This data is on a user-inaccessible part of the eMMC.

This thread is a good starting point:
