Hi folks
I have a kindle paperwhite 2 (serial begins with 9017), which I'd like to turn into a picture frame.
The touchscreen isn't working since the kindle was dropped last week. There's a hairline crack cutting across the top-left of the screen.
I factory reset the device, so right now it either shows a standard Kindle screensaver, or if I press the power button, it shows a screen listing all the languages I could setup in. If only the touchscreen worked.
I have a USB-to-serial module, which I just tested successfully between my mac and raspberry pi. I assume that I'll need to make a serial connection to the kindle, and have read many posts here about that (thank you all!!).
I need a solution that doesn't rely at all on the touchscreen. I'm a bit lost, but I
think what I'd like to do via the serial connection is find the directory with Amazon's standard screensaver images, and replace them with my own images. Nothing more. The device can remain basically stuck in this "ready to be setup" mode forever then, so long as I have my pictures.
But I'm really up for any and all help and advice. Many, many thanks in advance!
