Unhappy Kindle 2 - Possessed?

Ack! I need help, please.

My K2 has started to freak out on me.

I was reading last night, hit the left-side next page button. Nothing happened at first, and then the screen blinked. The Search line came up and a string of text (5ealm) kept appearing in the search line.

I tried hitting the back button, to get rid of the search line. This made the K2 go back to a earlier point in the book. And then the Search line came back up. And 5ealm.

I then tried restoring to factory default. The 5ealm made getting to the menu really difficult. I finally was able to get it to restart.

5ealm was still there.

I then plugged it into my computer and formatted it from there. Since this wiped everything except the K2 manual, I downloaded a different book.

Still getting 5ealm. It's not quite as bad now. It only happens every 10 page turns or so. But it's really frustrating me.

Before calling CS, I thought I'd turn to you all and see if anyone has heard of a similar problem.
