Kindle 3 does not go to Settings page
This is my first post, but this is my go-to forum for Kindle questions.
I have a Kindle 3, and I've had a Kindle since 2007. I use it heavily for reading, including many advanced copies via NetGalley. I have over 840 books on it at the moment. I am trying to connect to a wireless network. I am running firmware 3.1 I think? I just got this Kindle a few weeks ago as a replacement for a damaged screen.
When I click Menu -> Settings nothing happens. The screen stays on the Home page.
I tried backing up all of my documents by moving them to a flash drive, and the Settings page still won't open. I did a reset by holding the power switch in the off position for over 20 seconds. Still nothing.
I also can't open Experimental. When I try, the menu bar at the top changes to say Experimental, but the the screen stays on the Home page with the menu showing (but not selectable). From here I can press Home to get to the "real" home page, but the menu on my faulty Experimental page just says "Turn Wireless Off" or "Shop in Kindle Store."
The Kindle Store works fine, from what I've seen.
I have done yifanlu's jailbreak and installed a custom screensaver hack, but the problem did not start until several weeks after I did that. I have not done any hacking or anything lately. I can't try uninstalling the hacks because I can't get into the Settings menu to install an update.
Any idea why this might be happening and how to fix it?
