My power button does not work

Power button does not work, e-reader appears to work correctly once started via USB cable into a PC but no other method that I have seen put forward in various articles seems to work including multiple resets, pressing power button for 7, 15, 30 secs. disabling screensaver etc. Guessing this has to be a hardware problem, but if anyone had any other suggestions or options to try before I dismantle this great bit of kit, please let me know. Thanks

Go ahead and take it apart it's easy just remember how the screws are placed. Then remove the battery and remove the front panel. After that go ahead and gently press the power and the home button with your screw driver. When you remove the motherboard there is going to be a square with four pins. Go ahead and clean this square. After that screw everything back how it was and your kindle should work.
