Question How to deplete battery on purpose?

As indicated in another thread, my KPW2 is bricked. How can I completely deplete/discharge the battery?

It should not be possible.
The Kindles have a battery management chip that should prevent over-discharge.

You do not mention what you intend to achieve -
but if you just want to remove power, remove the battery.

I want this bricked devide to run out of battery juice and therefore I can do a complete restart of the device (after charging it). Any ways now with this explanation?

I have heard that if you plug an ereader into the USB port of a laptop computer when the laptop is *turned off*, that it will drain the ereader battery. I've never done it, so I can't be sure.

And I know my laptop has *one* (out of four) USB ports that's "always on", so you need to verify if yours has one or not, too.

Might work, if the Kindle leaves its USB port powered while shutdown.
Not good for battery life though, so just consider prying it open and removing the battery for a minute or two.

Take pictures as you go, we may need them for our information collection here.

You mean I should make sure I use the port that is NOT always on while the laptop/computer is also completely turned off ?
