It's a huge pain to take the machine apart just to have them replace a power button (if they even would for that matter) so I've ordered a generic replacement. ... Those work to turn it on just fine so it's going to be the button. ... I'll update the review if I'm wrong but I'm certain the button/button cable is the culprit. ... "
