Problem with Samsung Notepad

My wife has just told me she cannot get her Samsung N130 to turn on.On checking it it looks like the switch is broken inside as it normally springs back when you turn the unit on or off but now when you move it it stays where it is does not spring back.Does anyone know what I need to do to change the switch.I have seen switches on Ebay so can get one but cannot find any instuctions as to how to change it.

here is a you tube video on how to change the slider on a Samsung N150.  I think the process is similar for the N130. Basically you remove the battery, then remove all the screws from the bottom cover, the case then separates with a thin pry tool or guitar pick. You can then access the slider and replace it. The slider actuates the power switch and commonly fails on all these models
