anyone found a solution for this?  Its like you have to press it multiple times to get the unit to turn on.

While I had the notebook apart today I investigated this, its not the plastic that pushes on the button, but the actualy button itself is flakey, even if I push the rubber button with a screwdriver its hit or miss. 

I'm thinking spraying the button with electrical contact cleaner might make it work better, just don't have any right now to try.

the electrical contact cleaner fixed it!  Give it a try if your on/off button is failing.
