Stuck on-off button

[Mikengui]

My m505 is now running itself down, being permanently 'on' and at the logo screen. The On-Off button is stuck, in the On position!!:eek:

Any suggestions as to remedy, short of opening up the unit?

You have to open the unit with a T5 Torx Wrench, take everything out and then push the power button back into place. This is the only way i've figured out how to fix this problem, as it has happened to me twice from dropping it on the corner.

sigh...I was afraid of that...btw, I live out in the woods (metaphorically speaking as there is no support in Malaysia for Palm. Nearest is Singapore, and the minimum charge is USD100 which translates into 100 Big Macs in local currency!)...what is a T5 Torx wrench, and is it a "specialist" tool for the Palm? I might have to check out the local Palm dealers to get one.

We sell the T5/T6 Torx Wrench for $14.99Cdn and we ship internationally. Please contact Jerry in our shipping office at jmcgrego@sympatico.ca; Otherwise see if you can find one locally at a specialty or harware store.

Best of Luck,
