The Infamous.... Power Switch Problem. I've done some searches and from what I can tell, I can reset the PRAM, update the firmware, and replace the rubber gasket on the power switch. I'm wondering if anyone can add to this? I've haven't dealt with many cubes.

There's also the infamous place-a-scrap-of-paper-betweeen-the-swich-and-the-housing trick. Not absolutely sure how it's done, as I've never had to do it, but check around here. i've seen it crop up before.

edit: Here's a thread with explicit instructions.

Just don't start expecting me to do all your work for you.

It's as simple as placing a piece of paper between the casing and the actual switch. If I can manage it, ANYbody can.

These cube enthusiasts are EXTREMELY helpful.
