    Anyone have this problem with the power button?

    I've never seen anyone else talk about this yet...

    When I push my power button too hard (which isn't that hard at all) it makes a really loud clicking sound. I have to push it very gently for it to turn on with out the noise. I'm not too worried about it, just wondering if anyone else experiences this.

    Mine is doing exactly the same noise when pushed too hard, nothing to worry about IMHO.

    Very easy to remove the hinge cover. Might be something easily fixed with the button underneath the alien head.

    Mine does it too but not consistently. At first I thought some sort of trash had gotten in there. But I know I am meticulous about my AW's so that wasn't it. Just doesn't always do it and easy enough to get around by pushing slowly/gently. Let us know what you find underneath.
