So, you feel it physically depress and spring back, but it just does a whole lot of nothing? I guess that either the solder joints have gone bad, or perhaps something inside the switch has failed. I can't say for sure.

The device works normally otherwise, right? I want to make sure that something else isn't causing the problem, like the battery latch switch. (If the battery latch switch isn't engaged, the device will not turn on.)

i think the switch failed ...
