At this point, I was stymied, unfortunately. It appears to me that the difference between the on/off and the other buttons is deliberate. It doesn't look like anything broke off the on/off button; there is nothing clearly missing.

Hey there!
Thanks for the tutorial!! We had the same problem and followed your tut. Now we've noticed that the on/off button is not activated by a middle pin (like the other buttons), but with a pin on the rim of the button, which tends to break. Just glue something similar on the rim... problem solved.
Cheers!
Anonymous,
glad this was of some help. I still haven't gotten around to fixing my own. Too much other stuff to do! It'll probably have to wait till I'm unemployed before I try again.

The on-off button is only for display of the leds under it, the actual on-off button is to the left of the button, I drilled a small hole in the bessel and use a paper clip to turn it on-off. I guess there was an extension in the button that broke, it will be wise to use a non-metalic clip.
