It is a common failure, but if you know how to use a soldering iron, it's a very easy repair. I've fixed quite a few. Add some epoxy it'll never break again.

dreamlayers:
How's the background electrical noise in the audio?

What about screens breaking?  I've read several reviews where the screen broke without even a drop.

I was almost going to buy one but I decided not to for those reasons.  There are some very good deals now, like e280 (8GB) for $169 Canadian at Future Shop.

I have had mine for over 6 months and I have no problems with it.

I'm not sure the build quality of e200s is that great, mine has a couple of annoying issues.

You can activate most of the buttons by pushing the case around them. For instance pressing the bottom quarter of the screen activates the play/pause button. I often pause it when bumping into something with the player in my pocket.

It also has issues turning on. The wheel light comes on and nothing else happens. Most of the time holding the power button will turn it off and it starts up correctly next time its turned on. Occasionally it fails to start up and won't turn off requiring the battery to be removed for a short while.

Perhaps I just have a lemon. Ignoring the issues with the hardware rockbox runs fine.
