K3 stopped connecting to wifi

[CegAbq]

Boy am I glad Kindleboards is back up & running.
Before I contact Kindle CS (and have them suggest resetting to factory defaults  , I've got 23 pages of books), I wonder if anyone can help trouble shoot my problem:

I have a K3 3G/Wifi. Up until a couple of days ago it was connecting just fine to my home wifi. Then all of a sudden I noticed that it was connected via 3G & not wifi.
I went to Settings > Wi-Fi settings & it says:
Available Wi-Fi Networks (1)
Network: not connected

So I scrolled down to the Wi-Fi Settings & pressed the controller to try to open it up. The whole section turns dark (black) & the lettering is white/gray, but the Wi-Fi settings will not open up.

Anyone have any ideas?
I'm fearful that something has 'broken' and I'm going to have to either try a restore to factory settings or Kindle CS might just replace it.
But it's got a beautifl DecalGirl skin on it & as I said, 23 pages of books. Ugh.

How do you do that? I don't see anything in Settings that lets me restart.

Oh, and I have definitely turned it off & on several different times by holding the bottom slide button until the Kindle turned off. I've also made sure it is fully charged.

Press menu when in the settings page.
