[Kindle 4] bottom third of screen broken -> render only on top 2/3

An unknown incident left the bottom right area of this k4's screen stuck. Fortunately, the top part still works well.

I'm trying to get KOReader to render books only on the top part. I've gotten almost there by increasing the bottom margin size (DCREREADER_CONFIG_B_MARGIN_SIZES), but the max effective value leaves a couple of lines of text below the unusable part (2nd picture).

Any ideas on how to push those last couple of lines up? Ideally the whole UI would be above that height, but we'd be more than happy with getting the entire text to render.

I've read that android devices can use a "patch.lua" file to change the resolution, but had no luck making something like that work here.

On a side note, I'm thinking that being able to mask one or more areas of a broken screen so that KOReader would render around them would a cool feature.

Thanks in advance!
