It's been a bad day. While waiting for my case to arrive in the mail for my new touch, it slipped out of my front shirt pocket and slammed against the edge of my desk. :o

As my bad luck would have it, The part that made contact with the desk edge was the top lock button which as a result is now jammed in and dented and pretty much useless. Fortunately, all other functions work flawlessly and there really isn't any noticable cosmetic damage.

However, I can't manually lock or power off the touch as the lock button doesn't response. Are there any alternative 3rd party applications that can be used to perform those functions?

Thanks in advance...

Put something thin in there and use it as a lever so that you can open it up and allow the button free movement again.

Have patience and go slow - if you take your time I'm sure you'll be able to free it back up again.

Good luck.
