The poster did seem to have some confusion about the USB cords on hand.
This is the cable I used on the last time I used dmesg.

I’ll try charging it up one more time and see if I can get any different result. It may be that the battery has run out of steam although I would think there would be enough charge at 100% to at least get a connection.

There isn’t anything else I can try other than Kubrick to maybe get it working? I heard it was pretty hard to mess up the ability to run in USB downloader mode. It might be time to get a new kindle but I want to be sure I can’t get this one working first.
I’ll try using Kubrick on a USB instead of a CD.
Also I’m running dmesg from inside Kubrick after pressing alt + f5, not frim terminal in the linux OS. I’m just taking a photo of the screen that shows up too, I’m not sure if I’m meant to scroll up or something. It seems the CD drive info takes up the whole screen.


Thanks for the help. If I can’t get this working then does anyone wanna buy a papernotwhite weight?
