I'm getting the same error on my pw2 -- bought used and working fine up to and including jailbreak & kual etc. "Repair Code:2" -- anyone know what causes this and whether this is fixable? I install the repair pack, not sure if that will help in this situation though.

Right, so now I have gotten into diagnostic mode but cannot get out of it. I ran the "memorytester" and the results were entirely failures -- does this indicate that the hardware has failed? TIA.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I believe that is not applicable to paperwhite.

However, I am running linux and do have ssh access to the device. I haven't found a how-to for re-flashing the firmware, but I am hesitant to do so anyway until I figure out what the memory test errors indicate.

Yes.
At least that is the intent of the factory test.

Thanks, you never know Time to send this thing back. On the bright side, I'm sure I could debrick a device in the future now, if I ever need to!

I have seen that factory memory test complete without errors.

So I would agree:
Memory test fail + Still in warranty = Send it home for an exchange.
(Just tell them: "its broke" - they will not be interested in the details.)
