    Busted poweer on/off button on my 6th gen Nano - now what?

    Hey guys,            I visited a genius bar and got nothing but "we can replace it for $75" since it's about two weeks outside of the warranty (go figure).  I declined since they only give a 90 day warranty on replacement units.  So, now what? Can this damn thing be fixed?  I have a feeling...

    So who is still using a Rio Karma?

    I got mine up and running again recently.  Had to send it in for a board swap when the - volume broke.  The guy swapped out the board and placed some glue onto the volume connectors inside to keep them from breaking off, essentially losing connection.  Yeah, this is the second time it happened...
