Power button stopped working?

[Mamacita1410]

Hello, in September I bought a Linx 10V64 from Argos and today it won't turn on. I last used it a week ago, when I plug the power cable in the light is blue... but when I press the power button nothing happens. I've tried repeatedly over the last hour for varrying lengths of time (holding the power button down that is). I have emailed Argos but I'm guess they will refer me to you. Can you advise? I'm leaving the country on 9th January for a year to work abroad so it has really happened at the worst possible time.

Thanks in advance...

Ever since I got my Linx tablet the power button doesn't work sometimes. Usually it turns on after 20 or so tries!
