Are you friggin' kidding me???

I came home from a local electronics shop mainly because I wanted to get a laserpointer for my cat but also so that I could get a screwdriver set and play around with the hardware of the kindle a bit more.

Now, I ejected the battery and wanted to test the battery with my newly bought multitester. 4,13V...I guess the multitester is of shitty quality?

Well, I have totally given up at this point. I plug in the battery again and DAMN...a new screen! It's the kindle tree now! I am excited and play around and the screen responds to the power button. It doesn't boot up though because I have flashed it with a new kernel I think and haven't put up the partition yet.

Long story short: I managed to get into diags mode! I continue debricking now.

I'll keep you posted.
