Yes, I do find that the power switch on the 120 to be flawed by design
and if my fingers are slightly moist or oily, it can be quite difficult
to get it to slide down, all the way, to make contact. Add to that the
possibility that something sticky may have gotten into the slider area
and it could be even more troublesome.
Try using a pencil eraser (or other rubber contraption) for better
(temporary) gripping. Then you might try to clean the slider with wet
Q-Tip (alcohol? Windex?) and work the slider switch it back and forth,
alternating with a clean, wet Q-Tip and a dry one until it's clean and
dry.

From the "Who says, 'Size Doesn't Matter'" file:
Ever notice, when someone comments on your Newton PDA,
the first thing they say is, "Wow, that's a big one."
