Sticky power button in the Flex 5000?  Guess I will have to check mine.
It's never been turned off since I got it.  :)

Thanks for the replies.  I will try to re-align the button.

Bill,
I had this problem.  My push button was sticking on the ace plate.  You
probably can loosen the 4 screws on the faceplate and the ring-nuts for the
microphone and Phones then try shifting  the faceplate enough to free the
button from sticking.

Hi,

I've had this problem since I first bought my 5000A two or three months ago.
The power button sticks in about half the time, but it still powers the
radio on/off OK.
If I push the button from the side a little it will pop back out.  I thought
it may stop sticking after a while, but I think it may be getting worse.
I didn't want to have to drive it back down to Austin (about 3 hour drive)
or mail it back for such a small thing.  I have not opened it up to see if
it's something I might can fix.
I just wondered if anyone else had a sticky button and if they tried to fix
it.
Otherwise the 5000A has performed great, an I love operating it.

Thanks,

Bill - KE5YA
