Thanks for all the suggestions.  I have played around with it a bit and am convinced that the card was the issue.  In playing around with it I reformatted the card using the recorder rather than via usb.  After I did this, I noticed that when powering on the recorder, it now showed the 'accessing card' graphic for a much shorter time.  Not sure of the details, but I'll certainly be formatting via the recorder from now on.

Fyi, I received my replacement m10 from B&H.  The replacement unit does not have the sticking problem with the power switch.  The switch on the new one is a bit unsmooth when moved, but not sticky enough to overcome the spring action.

The swap with B&H was kinda slow.  I really wish Amazon sold these.  I would have paid more for their service.

Anyone else having trouble with a sticky hold/on-off button?
Not at all, but thanks to your warning, I'll stop flicking the power switch into the "off" position briefly in order to make the backlight come on when recording in dark conditions! I like the idea of the velcro on the volume switches, when they're easier to find, they're the perfect thing to use to get the backlight on, long as I don't have a "headphone out" patcher!

also, fwiw, I picked up some 16GB Sandisk M2 cards for a little over $16 each, and they work fine at all bitrates, but are slooooooow on the file transfers. ESPECIALLY if you try to write to 'em like a thumbdrive. Goes to show you just how little bandwidth audio recording actually requires!

ps OOH Sony, I'm really scared of the warning on page 9 of the PDF manual!

LOL.  I haven't even read the darn thing because it's that intuitive/self explanatory.  Maybe there are some other gems in there, too.  :)

I just push the display button to get the backlight to come on.

The M10 shows up as two drives.

One drive will be the internal 4GB storage
The other will be the memory card

The default folder will be Folder One, which is buried inside Private/Sony/ or something. (Away from my recorder right now)
Each file is titled by it's record date/time.

You will get MUCH BETTER transfer speeds if you go purchase a little Targus/etc. card reader compared to transferring from the M10>PC/Mac :) ;D

Yeah, but I'm afraid if I take that little card out, I'll sneeze and never see it again.

Dont be, I take mine out all the time... but from experience, make sure to put the card in as pictured on back of the unit.... as the microSD slot will allow the card to go in the wrong way

Yeah, I'd say just be diligent about making sure the card never gets put anywhere but inside the m10 or the card reader and you'd never have trouble losing it.  One reason I did buy a 32gb card though was that I hope to minimize the number of card change-outs for festival recording.  I can see how you'd want to be extra careful about putting the card somewhere safe so that when you get home and want to download to your computer, you know exactly where the little booger is.

So a 32gb SDHC will work in the M10?  I thought it only was supported for 16gb max?
