[CUBE] cube power button

[James Knight]

If you have a TFT Studio Display with the Cube, also be suspicious of its
power button - they were notorious for problems, we've had 3 and they have
all exhibited the defect.

If it's the Cube, it is most likely the shielding around the switch, though
you might also want to check that the connectors on each end of the cable
supplying this switch are fixed properly.
