In my recently acquired iPad2, the Safari "Open Page" button is not working. All the rest of the buttons work fine, except this one… The oddest thing is that when I "long-tap" a link and choose "Open in a new page", the animation shows all the other pages (though I can't tap/select/close any of them) before opening the new page…
Deleting the Safari cache/history works to get a new "blank" page but not to get the button working. I've tried closing Safari, powering off and even "rebooting" (home-sleep for 15 seconds) the iPad with the same result.
This was working fine before; I updated to 4.3.5 yesterday so I'm blaming it on that.
Any ideas? It's really a PITA not to basically be able to use Safari.

Sorry for the delay in getting back: Updating to 5.0 didn't fix the issue, and I noticed the "dead spot" on other apps so, to I finally took the iPad to an apple store, where they diagnosed a problem with the screen: there was a strip, around 1 cm wide that was not working properly. Got a new one and now I'm a happy camper!!
EDIT: Typo fixing (I should use spell checking!)
