Help: gTablet does not respond to power button

My gTablet refused to turn on (not responding to power button). I've cracked open the back and press the reset the button. It boots up but won't respond to touch screen, soft button or hard buttons. I reset it a few times and about to give up. Then I put the back cover half-on (not snapped), it somehow worked. It responds to hard button, soft buttons and touch screen.

I felt lucky but want to try more. So I reboot it. Now, it only respond to the hard buttons, but not soft buttons or touch screen. Feeling I no longer need the reset the button, I snapped the back cover on. Now it goes dead again.

I'd guess some loose wires or connection. But I don't have much clue what to look for. Can anyone help?

Thanks
