I got a Nexus One from vodafone about 1 month ago and the power button no longer works..... A google search shows that this is a very common problem (more details here). The phone is rooted which voids the warranty however many people say that they have sent rooted phones to HTC and had no problem because this is a hardware problem so they don't even check the software.

Apparently if you plug the phone in to the usb and take out the battery then put it back in fast the phone will start. This does not work for me so I am stuck with a phone that won't turn on.....

I called Vodafone and they will have to send it away so what I was wandering is if this has happened to anyone else here in NZ? And if anyone knows where I could get it repaired?
It would be good to find out if a repair is possible just in case the phone gets rejected from where ever Vodafone sends it.
