>>Any bright ideas about how to fix or minimize the problem?<< The microswitch under the button is either glunked up, or is dying. Or--one of my 5300's had a similar problem. The plastic carrier for the button/switch had cracked, and allowed the switch to wiggle around rather than stay in one place.
Pulled the switch assembly, removed the switch, and used methyl chloride to melt the carrier back together. Dunno where you can get methyl chloride, but I know sign makers use it to fuse plastics like Plexiglas together. Just flow a small drop into the crack, hold it together for a few seconds, and it's as good as new. If the switch is glunked up, or is failing internally, look for a replacement switch on the Swap List. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
