The on/off button on the 990   Message List

Has anyone ever taken this apart and perhaps cleaned it. Many months
back my son left it outside and it was never the same again as in the
half press to focus then the harder press to take photo but most
photo's came out in focus.

I tried to use it the other day and now, with fresh batteries, I turn
it on and it comes on, then shuts off. And then when I turn it off, it
stays on for a short while before actually shutting off and I couldn't
even get it to stay on long enough to get a picture.

Any ideas and how would I get to the bottom part of that button? Anyone
been that deep into the camera?

Yup, when it became clear that no one was intending that there would be anything superior to the CP8400/8800 in the foreseeable future, I traded image quality...
