I fixed mine by attaching an old clearo to the end and using that to help pull the switch section out of its housing. It requires a bit of force but if you hold onto the clearo and move it from side to side whilst pulling, it will come out and you should be able to reseat the button.

When I put mine back together, I made sure the button was in the hole and facing downwards before sliding the electronics back in.

Here is a decent video:

Good luck!

I've had this happen to ordinary Egos once or twice, has the edge of the button worked itself under the edge of the hole? If so you should be able to just wiggle it free. You might need to use a small screwdriver or similar to get it out. And as these have an automatic 5 second shit off, you shouldn't have had any overheating problems.

If the button has any play in it all, it might just be that it's turned itself off, so 5 fast clicks should turn it back on. I've had a battery turn itself off in my pocket, thought it was dead til I tried the 5 clicks!
