tekknogenius, some good pics thanks. Your pictures warn me of trying to fix the button!

ivanjt, these components are soooooo small. I was pondering if I have the solder equipment and skills to replace it. I could, for example solder a new power connector on, big solder joints... but without ripping the switch off, I can't even see what I'd be soldering to.

I'd go for a push button mounted at 90 degrees so I could press it with the stylus.

Attached is a picture of the back of the board. Spots marked X and Y might be where you would solder to on the other side. I'm open to comments.

Edit: GAH, I took too long to submit this post, tekknogenious posted very similar pics... but my camera seems better.)
