Did you block him because of his behaviour?!

Hi Deucalion,
you could always try to open the handheld and somehow fix the buttom from the back. Solder in a new one and then fit in some glue to hold the button in place.

Thank you for reply… I think I might even replace the powerbutton at least for my Tungsten E, which has about the same problem. I am however somewhat uneager to do so on my TX, as it is still covered by guarantee and I wouldn’t want to invalidate it.

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Although I just sent my Palm TX to the repair centre (and it seems to return just as we speak... taking 8 days from sending it to receiving it - thank you, Palm customer support, I might buy the Treo680 now), I'm not sure whether or not they fixed the powerbutton which I forgot to tell them about. So, this program rather aids to fix my own inaptness to tell the supportspeople the whole story on whats wrong with my palm than anything else, nonetheless... my Tungsten E will need this fix anyway. ;-) - deucalion Thank you very much for this link!
