I have a POD X3 Live that exhibited the same problem. I took it apart and found out that the switch on the top was just a mechnical piece designs to touch down a mini electrical switch on a PCB below.

Over time, the PCB had bent slightly and the mechnical portion of the switch which was attatched to the chassis, wasn't long enough to hit that miniswitch and thus it wouldn't work. (THe PCB wasn't supported in any way and is just hot glued to the chassis

I took everything out, taped some folded cardboard to the back of the PCB to wedge it up and stop it bending. Put it back together and good as new.
