I dont know what happened to the power button. I just use it normally in a daily basis but somehow my power button becomes stuck at some point while I press it and it goes back to normal when I wiggle it a little. Any ideas how to fix this?
 
The power button seems to have mechanical damage. You have to remove it from the case and disassemble it in order to inspect the damage. Repairing it may be simple, hard or impossible depending on the damage. You have to have some experience with those kinds or repairs. If not it would be best to have someone else do it for you, otherwise you risk breaking the power button completely. Finally if your case is still under warranty you should RMA it.

I had the same issue, what I found after removing the push button was that the plastic guides are hanging up causing the “sticky” button. The fix is to cut the guides off, button works as designed again.
