HELP!something wrong with my kindle3's keys!

icewaters · 05-01-2011, 02:36 AM

the problem like this:
when you press the HOME key to back to the home screen, the inputbox appears,show "5tdz", and you can not back! and any time you press the key T,D,Z, whatever you are doing with kindle3,it will back to the home screen!
in a word, the function of key HOME is raplaced by key T,D or Z, vice versa.
what can i do?

If you messed with the Kindle (software-wise, you didn't really tell what you did to the Kindle before this started) - reverse that (a borked launchpad or launchpad config by chance?). Otherwise the Customer Service seems to be a good bet. You did a full restart (slider for >30secs to really turn it off), yes?
