Hi Dean - Got it sorted now. I'm comfortable with not needing to mark those
touch buttons, thankfully, I've got good dexterity!
I feel a bit confused by this power button shut down though! People have
told me that using the power button to shut down doesn't do any harm, I
always thought it was possible it could, and if it doesn't, why do we have
the shutdown option in the start menu? -

| Have you tried holding the power button in for a few seconds, maybe 3
| or 4? That usually works although still not ideal but better than
| waiting til the battery goes flat. Also if the keys cause so much
| problem either try marking them with something tactile or covering
| them so you can't knock them at all.
