I broke the power putton on my Rio 6GB Carbon Pearl. I have dropped it a few times so it broke off. When I shake it I can hear it rattle around. I know I didn't damage the hard drive though because I can still charge it and it turns on that way. I have been using a pencil or a pointy object to poke inside and push on the thing the power button was pushing down on to make it turn on. This worked for a little while, but now it has completely stopped turning on (unless I charge it) Can you please help me? Thanks!

It sound like a damaged switch problem only. The switch should be replaced. Or by you, if you have an experience with such kind of work or by a technician. In any case it should not be an expensive repair !! Good luck !

Your power button may have come off inside the player, so you'll have to open it and resolder. Also test your battery voltage if its got a low voltage you'll have to rejuvenate it.

The button has been loosely hanging on due to usage until lately the button has fallen in and it turns on only when charged.
The power button is completely off because it fell I still have the part but it wont fit back in where its supposed to be. Would the manufactuer replace the mp3 or replace the part to fit back in.
