Do you or anyone else know of the actual magnetic switch composition. Does it have contacts that are swayed by magnetic fields, spring loaded? Just pondering this after assuming the same thing JSWolf posted. I have experienced on several types of devices the mechanical power button wearing to the failure point.
No reed switch involved so no mechanical contacts. Check Hall effect sensor.
