My daughter is having the same issue. My wife has looked it up and the information she has gleened says that this is a problem with the power button. My kiddo has done everything to try and reset, reload, reboot, etc... and nada. I am taking it to the Apple Store and seeing what they can do to it.

I have the same problem. I have to press my iPod Touch's power button very hard to turn it on.

I read somewhere that it's because after some time, dust gathers underneath the button. At some point in the iPod Touch's life, the amount of dust start sabotaging the button completely.

Since the iPod Touch is assembled so tightly, it seems pretty hard to fix this problem. However, if anyone has some great advice, I'd love to hear it!
