Ok, this is weird. I received my replacement Pocket Pro on Thursday, charged it up, flashed the new firmware, and everything's been fine. I haven't used the power button since then, but it worked just fine on Thursday. This morning I did a quick press of the power button to lock the screen... and nothing happened. The button pushes, but nothing happens when I press it down. I tried a long press, and still nothing. Since it worked on Thursday, it must be me, not a defective unit. But I can't figure out why it wouldn't do anything now when I press it. I'm guessing maybe it's just a loose connection, but I'm afraid of taking it apart, because I don't want to void the warranty. And I haven't dropped it on the floor, or anything... although the thought to smack it did cross my mind, just to see if I could whop the connection back into place. But of course I wouldn't really do that. Everything else works fine, so I don't want to send it back for the power button. The main drawback is that I won't be able to put on new firmware in the future. But does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could try for the power button, something that won't void the warranty? I've searched the forums and haven't seen this as an issue brought up before. I keep thinking I must have done something to it, but I can't imagine what it would be. I don't let my kids near it, so I know they didn't drop it... it's just very odd. Oh, and it's fully charged. Well, it's got 4 bars, anyway.

Thanks.
Press the Reset button on the back While on a Bookshelf view
See if that wakes up the Power Button after it reboots.
