Hi,
Following might help someone:
yesterday, my, Android 2.2 VIA chipset 7inch ePad MID, fell (but not from much height) and power button stopped working.
I was worried that it was not even a week and it had wasted.
I opened it with screw driver and, surprised to find out that it had very simple architecture, around 6 off-the-shelf-components connected together
1. embedded VIA chipset mother board
2. a flash memory (or RAM) installed on mother board - like normal laptop RAM
3. a battery
4. a touch LCD screen
5. gravity sensor
6. and button panels connected with motherboard
Battery is stick to back of screen, and a bus cable/wire of button panel connects with motherboard, which passes in between screen and battery. The tape is used to glue battery with back of screen, which got glued with that cable. The fall, made the battery move, which had loosened the glued cable connections.
I pulled the battery, tightened the button panel bus cable connections, and taped/glued the battery much better, now it is good as new (only screw driver slighly damaged the border, as screw driver had to pushed in the case to separate back cover),
also remember to remove the micro-SD card from tablet (which have to purchase separately), before opening the back cover, as I broke my Rs.1100 8GB micro-SD card, yesterday, thus I purchased 4 GB today for Rs. 500
