    I found lately that my power button, despite its attention-grabbing ambient lighting, fails to register many of my presses. Perhaps a wire is loose or something, but I often have to try pressing it multiple times at different angles to turn my laptop off or to put it in hibernate. Are there any simple disassembly guides for the FW?

    A wire might be loose or the point of contact itself might be broken.
