Power Button Issues

Alright, so far my edge seems to fall in the category of no major issues after three months. Yes, I have a little tarnish, yes I have the stylus rattle, but I don't mind that.

However, my power button has always seemed to have to be pressed a little too deeply (IMHO) to activate anything, and I could never quite be sure of how deep was enough. OK, fine, i could deal with that. But lately, it sticks down! In fact it can turn the backlight on/off by it self if I'm not careful! It comes back up on its own after several seconds, or I can get it to come back up by flicking the corner with my finger.

Anyone have a better solution?

probably just encrusted with lint, skin flakes and grease. you pretty uch vae no other choice than to open it up and cleane it up with an alcohol soaked q-tip.

I was afraid of that. Thanks, though

just an update for anyone else with the same problem... I loosened the screws in th4e white plastic edge around the button, snugged them back up a little, and now it works better than ever. It has been 3 weeks since I did this and the screws are still in there, in case you were wondering.
