Steam deck power button is getting less and less responsive

IDK if this channel includes hardware problems as well. The power button on my steam deck 500 gig LCD model is just getting less and less responsive and it takes tons of presses to turn on my steam deck now.

Return Merchandize Authorization. in other words make a warranty claim with valve to fix your device alternatively bring it to a repair shop to do the job for you if they can

Earlier today I used a Q-Tip with rubbing alcohol and the button works so much better now
