Hello everyone. I've had a Kindle Keyboard 3G for several years now and it's survived a lot. Today, though, I was reading a book, then put the kindle into my pocket for a moment and when I took it back out, it was stuck on the boot screen.
I've tried rebooting it multiple times; it always hangs somewhere on the boot screen or a short time after boot; I haven't managed to get it to open a book or move the cursor more than a couple of entries down.
I've also disassembled and reassembled the device to check for possible internal damage. Haven't found any, and the problem's still there. Any ideas as to what might be causing this and/or how to determine that? I have a JTAG adapter on its way to me, so that is also an option when I finally get it.

Thanks in advance.
