hello..

I installed jailbreak on kindle paperwhite.. OS version 5.3.5.. plus the other tools: KUAL, Kterm, kindle explorer.. etc..

Was fooling around with the "shutdown now" command on kterm, invoked under kindle explorer.. nothing happened.. i exited from kterm.. but when i tried to exit from kindle explorer, the screen blanked and i'm now having what seems like a bricked paperwhite.. with only the status screen on top and a blank area beneath.. "(paper)white screen of death.." nothing works..

request forum experts to point me to suitable recovery method..
