The power button has stopped working on my Lumia 920, and it's very very annoying. Drains the battery because I can't lock the screen, instead I have to wait 30 seconds every time I use the phone.
I've tried a bunch of fixes, but I've run out of ideas.
Maybe someone help me to solve this problem? I have no idea what to do.

- I Live in Minsk (Belarus), and there is no Nokia Care.
- I tried removing the phone's shell, and pressing on the little nubs on the flex connector - the piece of hardware with the actual buttons (nubs) on it - with my fingernail. They 'click', like they should, but the power button does nothing. The other buttons all function properly when I use my fingernail like this, and they all function properly when the phone is assembled.
- I tried just rebooting the phone (Settings -> region, changing region gives me a 'reboot' button, since I can't hold the power button).
- Given that my tinkering has probably rendered my warranty worthless, I tried ordering a new flex connector and replacing the old one. This didn't fix it either, though the buttons feel 'like new'!
- I thought it must be a software issue then, if completely replacing the hardware didn't fix anything. Factory reset my phone through the settings menu, and... The button still doesn't work.
- Hmm. Maybe the firmware then? I used the Nokia Software Recovery Tool to install NEW version of OS. But it also doesn't work.
