Hi again.
Got it out of safe mode boot up, but it still will not power off unless the battery dies, nor will it power on again unless I depress the soft reset button.

Funny thing is when it goes into that dimmed screen of sleep mode, the charging light still flashes that it is charging even after i disconnect the ac power.

I am also showing a 1/2 inch dead pixel area right were the Start icon is. This dead pixel area is not present when I open an applcation thank goodness.

Any more suggestions about the power button issue?

Seen screen shot.
