Okay, so I had actually ordered a battery before I seen your post. It arrived today and I ran the multimeter over it and got a reading of 3.82V. I installed it and noticed a green flash on the charging indicator, which I wasn’t getting before. The kindle is still in a weird state though, because I am now able to plug it into the laptop and see it appear as a device. It also turns on but nothing appears on-screen. The the front light LEDs all turn on but the screen remains blank. I don’t see any visible cracks or damage to the screen, but it is behaving like it is powered on (the LEDs turn off when connected to the laptop and turn on again when unplugged and the power button turns them off and on). Not sure what to do now. I might disconnect the screen cables and make sure they’re reconnected again properly, then leave it on the charge for a while but I’m thinking there could be a motherboard issue.
