Lock/power button sticking

Yes, this just started occurring with mine yesterday!!
It's definitely depressed down and not returning to the original resting position. ACK! I can see this becoming a problem over time where it doesn't go down any more.
Just started happening to me yesterday (June 6 2010).
I'm shipping it back to Motorola to refurb. Will take a week or so.
I've heard people go back to Verizon, but they just give you a refurb phone in exhange. Usually that would be fine, except the refurbs often have blemishes, scrapes, etc.
I'm hoping they will just fix the button instead of sending me a refurb.
Anyway, make sure it's un-rooted before calling tech support for Verizon.
Yeah i think so too. The tech i talked to at vzw told me that i was the 2nd person today he talked to that had called in and complained about it.
My dad's did it and my friends too, both the day they got theirs. Mine lasted about 6 months before it happened. I wonder what causes it.
Side note, the warranty is typically a year so if it just started happening you can call verizon and they might send you a replacement for free. Just remember to unroot if you've rooted

I hit option 3 i think and stated that my phone was broken and they connected me to a person after that. I told them that my power button was stuck and wouldn't come back up and they asked me if i damaged the phone after doing the typical power down, battery yank thing. All in all took about 10-20 minutes but I'm getting a free replacement without making an insurance claim
It's as if it was never rooted

Fixed it!!!
Just finished repairing my droid. Took it to verizon, but I must have made a phone call on a soggy day, cuz my water indicator was red, and they told me to pound sand. Seeing as I wasn't worried about warranty anymore, I followed ifixit's (Motorola Droid Teardown - iFixit) teardown, accessed the button, added a drop (decently sized, as it drops when it dries) of gel superglue to the part that presses the hardware button, let it dry for a few hours, then reassembled, and bada-bing, bada-boom, it works! :dancedroid:
