Sticking power button

[Plutohora]

Most of my rides are wet and dirty. So far the power button just keeps on sticking down. WD40 doesn't shift it and I don't want to damage any seals using a screwdriver tip. Any tips????!!

Coincidence... Mine just stuck today. It's that Peak District grit... Gets everywhere!

How did you free it? I went back to the car for spray, took some real effort

Then did this

It was halfway through a ride, just as me and the Mrs were leaving a cafe. I think it had stuck down from when I switched it off. I sorry of pressed and jiggled it and it eventually popped back up. Worked ok then.

Mine did that the first time, press at angles and jiggle finger pressure fore aft etc. This time it was like it was peak gritstone cemented down. I set off thinking sod it I'll ride sans battery but then decided to retry

H15 and H30

I agree...the power button on the H is really bad placed.
I saw some mods that was a cover to the power button......will help.

I tried the trick today where you roll the rear wheel backwards 3 times to see if the system would stay on and it worked! You have to make sure they are continuous.

It works easier if you use a cable tie to tie right crank to chainring and pedal backwards for some time. I always take some plastic cable ties with me (low weight and can help to fix few things in my routes).
