Water damaged power button iPhone 5
I was swimming in the river with my iphone 5 in a waterproof case, when i got out of water and looked in a case, it had a little water in it, but the whole iphone was covered in water drops. I turned it off and put it under the sun so water could evaporate. When i turned the phone on, it worked perfectly, except the power button. In the beginning it was living it's own live - turning the screen on and off and making the "slide to power off" appear, then it didn't work at all, now it's somewhere between those states - doesn't work, or act weird. Could I somehow make it work without dissasembling the phone?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Did you ever find a solution? My iPhone got caught in the rain and the power button displayed similar issues.

The phone was turning off and on at will, not shutting off when I held down the power button (instead it would just turn off the screen) and generally behaving badly. I used pure alcohol on a swab and dabbed it to get alcohol down inside the button. (It's best if it is pure not 70%-90% because then you are just adding extra water) Then I gave it few days to dry out thoroughly. It seemed to have done the trick. Hopefully you found a solution, too.
