Well, I was having a very similar problem last year, and decided to open
up my uMP2k and try and fix it... well, after not really being able to
clean the switch and putting things back together, my Newt was dead. I
sent it in to Apple and got it replaced. So, basicially, if you've been
soldering circuits since you were in diapers, then you'll be fine, but if
you're really not hardware-inclined (like me) then stay away from
microelectronics.
