button on my ipod touch is stuck!

the on/off button on my iPod Touch 4G is stuck! It's pressed in, so I can push it, pop it back out or use it at all. It's not particularly debilitating, it just means I can't reset it when it crashes, turn it off or lock the screen without waiting a minute.

I would like it fixed, but I've been quoted £40 to have someone take the back off and pop it back off. £40.

Personally, I feel this is a form of robbery. Has anyone else had this problem and how it can be resolved?

I don't know about fixing it, but if you go into the general section under settings and tap accessibility, choise "Assistive Touch" and use that little dot that comes up to lock it and such.

There probably are methods of solving it on the internet. But to be honest, the best thing u an do is take it to an Apple Store and ask the genius staff members to fix it. The second u tamper with an apple product, things go downhill
