Hi James. The website for ZeePad is www.zeepad.net but unfortunately, there is no contact information there that I've been able to find. There is indeed a link for "Contact Us" but it's not operational.

I've worked on quite a few of these tablets--never the Zeepad specifically, but you are likely to find that by the time you get the replacement power button and find someone to install it, it will be cheaper in the end to replace the tablet. I hope I'm wrong, but many of these imports are just so inexpensively built it's just not cost-effective to repair them.

Sorry.

This is a 2-year old question, but you can pop the case open with your fingernails easily enough, and maybe re-position the little plastic switch button if it's in the case. It has a tiny loop on it, meant to line it up in position with a tiny projection on the plastic case. It seems that a spot of glue or threadlock on that loop might help it stay in place. If the little switch button is lost, you could reach into the slot and press gently on the switch (mounted on the circuit board) with a toothpick or paperclip. If you open the case, you'll see where it is, and what is involved.
