I picked up my ipaq 3835 the other day and noticed that the power
button does not work and it is sunken into the case. I don't know if
this just happened spontaneously or if I or someone pushed it in way
too hard.

I tried to fix it myself and I was not successful. I have the little
torque screwdrivers and I was able to open the case by removing the 4
back screws. I was then looking at the motherboard with 3 small,
black, philips screws. I removed these and the motherboard was
loosened but would not come out. Something at the upper right corner
was holding it down (looking at it from the back with the screen
facing away from me). The power button is below this level, so I was
not able to do anything about it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
