Exclamation Kindle 10th Gen stuck on white screen

Hi,
I am stuck with a kindle that's showing a white screen.

I have a rooted kindle that has KUAL. I have enabled USBNetlite as well.
I installed https://github.com/pascalw/kindle-dash on the device using SSH+SCP and now it is stuck showing a white screen.

I want to delete these files from `/mnt/us/extensions` which might fix the issue.

I've restarted it couple of time and it once it starts up, it shows the home page briefly before going to the White blank screen mode.

It doesn't mount itself as a USB device as well.

I tried SSH to it but that also fails.

What is the best way to fix this?

It seems that the USBNetlite connection is active, but SSH is refusing to connect.

This is the SSH log:

Code:
$ ssh root@192.168.15.244
ssh: connect to host 192.168.15.244 port 22: Connection refused

$ ping 192.168.15.244

Does rebooting not work? I'm also using kindle-dash and the white screen shows when no image can be downloaded.
You have to keep holding the power button for a couple seconds even after the screen flashes.
If you don't hold it long enough it doesn't actually restart.

To get kindle-dash to work with HTTPS and kindle FW 4.1.1 you need to use the fix for xh here
https://github.com/pascalw/kindle-dash/issues/20

copy ca-certificates.crt from a linux distro /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt or use the attached one from my raspberry pi. put it into the folder where the xh binary is and change local/fetch-dashboard.sh:

"$(dirname "$0")/../xh" --verify "$(dirname "$0")/../ca-certificates.crt" -d -q -o "$1" get
