I don't believe that any cleaning would help, but if you Google "Kindle 3 battery" you will find videos showing how to open your Kindle. Only open it if Amazon won't give you a replacement.
This video shows disassembly of a Kindle 3. You can see the little bubbles that represent the micro switches under the keyboard. No way to fix these..

thanks for the reply.
i'm located in india, so i really doubt if amazon would consider my replacement plea. and to be frank, the cost of shipping the kindle back to amazon would probably be higher than the price tag of the newer kindles
i guess i'll live with this and upgrade when the kindle (or the button :P) stops working altogether.
