I'd suggest you make a full backup and hard reset the device in order to make sure its not a hardware problem. If it works fine after a hard reset, you'll know its something you installed relatively recently.

I did a hard reset.nothing changed.then i flashed a different ROM.But still i am facing the problem.

Try the following:

Get a can of canned Air and blow it on the button as it might move any debris that are there. Just make sure that the phone is off and the battery is out. KEEP THE AIR STREAM AWAY FROM THE SCREEN! If any of the propellant escapes while you spray, it can freeze the LCD. Just slide it open and stick some paper on top of the screen. Wait a few moments before you switch the device back on

If this doesn't work, flash the Kaiser with its original ROM and SPL just in case there is an odd interaction somewhere. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418375

If nothing of the above work, you have two options:

a. If the device is in warranty, return it and get it fixed or replaced. Make sure is has its original ROM/SPL loaded before you do.
b. If the device is out of warranty/you don't care about the warranty, you can try to open it up and see if something is blocking the switch. There are instructions floating around here somewhere.

EDIT: Added warning regarding the propelant and the LCD

Any update here? My tilt is doing the exact same thing :(

alt236 pretty much said all there was to it. Hard reset, restore stock ROM, try blowing the switch, if all fails send for repair.

Did all of the above and the cost of repair is not worth it. Time to toss my kaiser I guess :(
