Htc windows phone power button problem

[WPCentral Question]

I have a windows htc 8x. The screen is smashed so I can not take the phone apart and by power button has lost it's 'springyness' and therefore my htc keeps on turning in and off by itself. It only turns on to the point of the white and green display of 'HTC' and it starts all over again. Has this happened to anyone before? What can I do? Does this mean I have to get a new phone?

If the screen is smashed then I think the power button issue is pretty redundant as you'd have to replace the phone anyways.
