You never mention which paperwhite you have, there are three of them,
The original, indexed as K5
The others are indexed as PW-2 and PW-3
Compare the first four characters of your devices serial number with this table:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers
(You can find that both on a (working) Kindle and on your Amazon Kindle Account.)
Now see the sticky at the top of the index page "Where do I start?"
Select that.
Click your model nickname.
If your model nickname isn't shown, pick K5/PW-1
find the 'teardown' links in the index (the PW-1, 2, 3 are similar enough for you to use).
Then pick "hardware" in the master index.
Select any of the serial port entries.
Order your adapter if you don't have one already.
Then connect the adapter to the serial port. Note: If you don't have hot soldering skills, see my "Paint and Play" thread.
Then find any of the threads about serial port recovery here.
