Probably something was out of place or a key jammed. It would only take a small bit of grit lodged in the wrong place. However its possible that something is actually broken and you heard some piece of broken plastic rattling around. I doubt removing the battery helped.
As broken screen K3s sell quite cheaply on Ebay, and the keyboard is a known weakness (it reportedly wears out if you frequently type a lot on it), you may want to get one for parts. As the screen is extremely fragile and usually is stuck in place do not attempt to remove it from the front bezel when transplanting parts. You want one that shows signs of life, and make sure the spare parts Kindle is fully charged and the battery removed for storage.
