Bootlooping Kindle Paperwhite possible repair?

Hi,
I've come to inherit a Kindle PW1 which is bootlooping on the tree screen. I tried all the basic ways to get past it with no success so connected it to serial to have a look. It appears to be bootlooping because of this error:

Code:
EXT3-fs error (device mmcblk0p3): ext3_add_entry: bad entry in directory #2: rec                                                      _len % 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=3735924190, rec_len=21025, name_len=82
When attempting to access the kindle's fat32 partition on the computer through recovery or diag it appears to have no filesystem as the computer asks to format the drive before using. When in recovery however, Export FAT Partition causes an immediate YKNR screen.

I was going to try flashing everything again via fastboot but am unable to get the factory images from the original website that gets used here and while I can download the update officially from amazon, I am unsure if I can use that to do what I want to do.

If anyone has any ideas where I can go from here that would be great!
Thanks
