My power button had been working only intermittently and then almost not at all. The solution was amazingly simple. I wet a Qtip with alcohol and rolled it around the edges of the button, pushing in as much as I could. Each time I did that the button started working better and better. Now it works perfectly. I think between humidity, finger oil and dust, it just got dirty inside.

This alcohol qtip comment helped. Button works again!

I had the same problem with my LG G5. I was very skeptical about the alcohol qtip idea but was all out of ideas and decided to give it a try. After rubbing it with the qtip for about 5 seconds the button started to work again. Unbelievable! Thanks for the great tip.

Well %#*@. The alcohol and q-tip trick worked! I’m floored. I’ve been double-tapping since two months after I got the phone. I used cleaning alcohol, like that for wounds (70%), and pressed the button in with the saturated q-tip while scrubbing around and on the edge. As the above comments mentioned, repetition resulted in increased success: I used a total of one and a half q-tips, and applied alcohol about 3 or 4 times. No disassembly required.
