iPod touch iPod touch 3G Doesn't Go Into Landscape Mode

I have an iPod touch 3G on firmware(s) 3.1.3 - 4.3.3 (I test out things on different firmwares) and it doesn't go into landscape mode unless it's an automatic landscape app (i.e. YouTube, Angry Birds etc.). How can I fix this? I heard somewhere that the ball inside that tells it if it's in landscape mode might be stuck:

Sometimes, you just need to reset the device by turning it off completely and turning it on. Worst case, your ball inside that tells if it is in landscape mode is stuck.

Also; if I send it into Apple do all of my SHSH blobs stay? Because I have the following SHSH's:

3.1.3
4.0
4.0.2
4.1
4.2b3
4.2.1
4.3b1
4.3b2
4.3b3
4.3
4.3.1
4.3.2
4.3.3

I think I want to KEEP those SHSH's.

Thanks in advance!!

Dumb suggestion maybe, but have you double checked to make sure the orientation lock isn't on? When on a home screen, double click the home button. A bar of running apps will show up at the bottom. Slide to the right (to see the frame to the left) and make sure you just see a round arrow, not a round arrow with a lock symbol inside.

Haha, I've already tried that. I think most people would've assumed that it wasn't on. But thanks anyway for replying. Does anyone else have a suggestion?
