Well, my power button all of a sudden has decided to stop working. I don't think it is jammed - I havn't spilled anything on it, and I can't even "pry" it up with a fingernail - a little rubbing alcohol on a q tip didn't do anything either - so I'm assuming something in there just broke? It won't click at all, won't turn the screen on or off, etc.

Any other ideas? I'm guessing a genius bar trip may be in order.
