Well, it turns out that the power dial on the PRS1 is slightly concave. Just enough for a tennis ball to sit on top. I put that there so it would fall down (quite a ways, I have a loft bed) and make noise if I tried to turn the machine off. Of course, I didn't. Go figure. But, presumably, it will work if I try it another night.

Oh, memories of my loft bed in college... I think I changed the sheets about twice a semester because it was so hard to make the bed given that I could hardly even sit up in bed.
Never put your fate entirely in the hands of someone who cares less about it than you do. --Sleeping Ugly
