That isn't what I was thinking of, but, it could be the issue. There are plenty of pictures of broken screens due to the substrate cracking that will show what I mean.

I went ahead and attached my serial to the UART (j5, as I found on another thread here). I don't get anything back while it's powering on. I'm used to some sort of hardware diagnostics (I work for a silicon vendor) even when the firmware gives up on handing off to the next layer, but maybe that's a bad expectation here?

There are a few people who do this, but, it isn't something I have experience with.

At this point I'm about to just call it a day and admit that it's 8 years old and had a good run and maybe it's just time to buy my wife a new one.

Yes, it is time to for the new ereader. A Libra 2 or Sage should make her very happy. And you can keep the Aura H2O to tinker with when you have time.
