I have an almost identical story to share... My FM is about just about 1
year old (happy birthday etc) and my f2 caved in last week.
Unfortunately I then took it out and er, lost it. But I can still hit
the microswitch on the pcb via a pen or something.

Mine came from a dodgy vendor on London's Tottenham Court Road so I'd
thought my chances or a replacement were slightly less than zero.


I do feel better for sharing though.

I've had my FM for just about 12 months now. Earlier this week, the F2
key pushed in and won't come back out. It usually sits on my desk for 10
hours a day and in my breast pocket for a couple of hours between home
and work. I've been pleased overall. The depressed F2 key still works
(more or less) for changing the radio presets (but I wonder why). I'd
return it to BestBuy (via 2 year extended warranty I purchased) if I
thought I could get a replacement device with more or the same features
but I don't think I can. Maybe that will change in the next year.
Overall, I'd rate it 100% for features and software (Rockbox, that is),
90% for durability.
