Hello,
Amazon recommends the following steps. As I'm sure you have already tried the power switch, try starting from Step #5 to do a hard reset on your Kindle.

Source: Amazon.com

  1. Unplug Kindle from power adapter or computer.
  2. Slide and release the power button. The LED light that surrounds the power button will display green for two seconds.
  3. Shut down Kindle by sliding and holding the power button for five seconds. The LED light will blink three times. Wait for the screen to go blank, then release the power button.
  4. Turn on the Kindle by sliding and releasing the power button.
  5. If Kindle is still not working, you can perform a hard reset by sliding and holding the power button for 15 seconds.
  6. If Kindle is still unresponsive, try charging Kindle before trying to restart the device once again.
  7. Make sure you have the latest software version available installed on your Kindle. The latest version is available here: www.amazon.com/kindlesoftwareupdates
Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
KYTechnology

    Hello.

    Look for a small hole (usually in the rear of the device). Take an opened paper clip and press in the hole for a moment and release.

    Hope that resolves your problem.

Hello.

Reset your Kindle.

There's a little hole inside the battery cover area. Put in a pin or paperclip end and press. The Kindle should unlock.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: I have the kindle 3.0.2,

First of all there are two types of kindle, the kindle 3g + WIFI and the Kindle WIFI. If you bought the kindle WIFI you will be unable to connect to a 3g network. If you bought a 3g model you can access 3g internet by pressing the 'menu' button and then using the 5-way to navigate to 'turn on wireless'. Once wireless is on you can access your browser by clicking menu, scrolling to experimental and then selecting Web Browser

Amazon might help you with this because it is so new. However if you dropped it (etc.) and if HTC doesn't replace it for you, You can get the part at Kindle 3 Repair and there is a guide that shows you how to put in the part at Kindle Repair Guide.
