If you can see your Kindle connected to PC it is obviously either fonts hack problem or hardware problem with display (or its controller). If you really don't had an option to send it back to Amazon for replacement then you could open it and see for the annoying problem with failing screws - may some ot them does short-circuit or so?

Also I remember there in forum I have seen an instruction on Factory reset with holding some keys (not via menus). It was something like after 30s holding power slider to press Home key for 5s and wait. But I forget where it is (this instruction).
