Can you solder? I have found that 70% to 80% of the time, the switch isn't bad, but the solder joints have come loose (even if they dont look like it). Sometimes the switch is bad, but worth a shot to try and resolder the switch joints to see for sure. Just be careful,it is delicate soldering.

Also, if it is for sure the switch button itself, you could remove the reset switch and put it in place of the power the switch for a simple temp fix until you can get a new board.
