Question K3 Keyboard has a few non-responsive keys

Broke the screen on my Kindle Keyboard 3-4 years ago. A new screen was about $75 at the time (so it was just de-registered & stored it in a drawer and got a PW)

But about 6 months ago saw that new screens were only ~$25 and a new battery ~$12. So I bought them and replaced them myself. Everything was working great. But i still had my PW so never really used the K3.

Today I decided to start it up and load it up with books. But needed to register it with Amazon first.... Tried entering my Amazon e-mail/password and discovered that the "Q", "W", & "E" keys were not responding, but all the other ones worked. (need W and E)

I really, really don't want to take this kindle apart again to troubleshoot it.

I am almost positive that all the keys were working when I reassembled it after replacing the screen. (its been so long ago I cant remember, but I am sure I would have tested everything when I finished putting it back together)

And I am wondering if anyone knows what might be the cause of them not working now.


Kindle Keyboard 3g/WiFi (USA) B006

Its been years since I have used it, but I am pretty sure the K3 did Not have an on-screen keyboard for A-Z, like it does for the "sym" keys. Correct?
