That is the "Coward's Rescue Pack" functionality: check if device is charging on restart / reboot if it is boot into diagnostics instead of booting into main OS, if not charging boot into main OS.
It is a nice safety blanket I wish I had on my PW5 that I've managed to brick. Unlike PW3 PW5 doesn't have diagnostics (RP & CRP aren't compatible with newer Kindle models) and also doesn't have serial (at least not on a production board OR not in the same place like on the photos from FCC) points.

Thanks, I'll give this a try when I get a chance this weekend. If I can downgrade my PW3 then I can still use it (still hate the new UI).
