A500 Power Button

[Catfish]

Hi there,

Is there anyone on here that has or is willing to pull their A500 cover off and take a close up photograph of the power button mechanism inside of it? I have someone wanting me to fix their A500 and the power button on theirs is not operating correctly, but I don't know what the problem might possibly be and whether spare parts would be required or not. They live out in woop woop so I can't physically get to their device to open it up. All the tear downs I've watched I cant really see what the power button mechanism is.

Thanks,
Catfish.

In the photos on the above linked website, look at image 28. The power switch, facing upward near the upper right corner of the board, is between the headphone jack to it's left, and the vibrator motor, just around the corner to its right. The power switch has a white button.
