I have removed the tip and it is currently airing out. But if it isn't working by Saturday... its going to be slowly dissected (with pictures).

One other bit of information: I must have pushed the side button in too many times because it has shifted(??). This happened before I washed it... but did not effect anything eDGe related. I would imagine that using it on its intended form would show its button dysfunction... But since it doesn't effect our device, it doesn't/didn't matter. It was just too easy to push it when I was bored at meetings!
