I've had my PRS-505 for a little over 4 years now. At some point last month, the power button stopped working on my reader. I would slide it, and nothing would happen. This is without having dropped it, so I had no idea what could have caused it to break.

I then received a new battery for the holidays (yay!) and proceeded to open up my reader to replace the original. While I was sliding the innards in and out, a tiny little black piece of plastic became detached from one of the 2 parts that get pushed by the power slide button.

Has anyone successfully fixed this before? It is a very tiny piece, whose purpose was to push inward into a narrow slot at the same time as the white plasctic piece is suppose to be moved to the side.

I've been getting by, by using a thin wire to push in where the black plastic piece would have. I am wary of gluing, because the piece could get glued to the slot or something else (it's really tiny!).

Any suggestions would be welcome! Thank you!
