Hi,

Since 1 month my Nexus 5 has a weird bug : when I hit the power button, it seems to be activated twice or more, the screen shows "screen on / screen off". So when I want to screen on my phone, it's immediately followed by a screen off, and when I want to screen off it, it screen on.
More embarrassing, the power button seems to remain pressed sometimes and induces random reboots or power off my phone.

I suppose it's a physical problem with the power button which may got dust inside his mecanism. So I wonder if anyone of you have an idea to fix it. Maybe by opening the phone and scratch it with a smooth brush it can be cleaned ?

Thank you in advance for your help....
