Question how to check the serial number when there is no menu?

Hello,
I like fixing broken devices.
Recently came across a broken Kindle Keyboard (D00901).

After replacing the battery, few restarts and a factory reset, the device boots.
IT does not read any of the books it has in the memory (I've added new ones via calibre after the factory reset).
When I press the @Menu@ button, nothing happens.

All other buttons work just fine.
I noticed that the entire "system" directory is missing.
This makes me wonder if the device is not a victim of a failed hack?

I can get the device to the recovery menu.
So I guess I could use that to update the firmware.

BUT - without the Menu, I cannot go to the settings and read the serial number.
Is there a way to read the SN (and ideally - the software version) in another way? I don't even know if it is the 3G or just Wifi :/


Thanks!
