It's a good idea. How would you do it though? It sounds like opening the unit generally causes significant damage. Is there a way to disable the switches, keep the "power on" via usb intact, without permanently damaging the device?
It would be a cool modification if you could.
Of course, this is assuming that the buttons are a major contributor to the power drain, which I don't think anybody has really proven yet.
