Device: Kindle Paperwhite 3
Touchscreen unresponsive after drying out

Hi All,

I have a Kindle Paperwhite third generation. It got wet a couple of months back - only briefly. I was surprised when it quit working but I stored it in the airing cupboard in a bag of rice since. Eventually it came back on. I can turn the screen on/off and hold the power button to restart but the touchscreen remains unresponsive. It's in aeroplane mode and not registered to amazon. If I connect it to my laptop it connects and I can add/remove books and the screen updates but still unresponsive.

Is it suitable to try jailbreaking it with no wifi/amazon account? I've never tried to jailbreak anything before. Any other ideas or tips.

Thank you!
