I admit, I did something stupid. I had my cybook resting on my knee and it slipped and fell about 2 feet to the floor. The floor was carpeted but it was in a public building (and we all know how fluffy carpet is in public buildings). Well when I picked it up everything seemed to work just fine. But later I realized that the power button was jammed and it would turn on and off all by itself over and over all day long until the batter was dead. I have tried to fiddle with the power button with no effect. I tried also to unscrew the back of it and see if I could get inside and fix it that way, but I wasn't sure how to do it right without breaking it so I abandoned that idea. Is there anyone out there that could help?
