Power/lock button on iphone not working what do i need to replace?

Hello everyone.

the iphone lock/power button on my iphone 4 hass died… again.By this i mean when i press it, it doesnt do anything and it is also very hard to press ie it has no spring action anymore. I have temporaily fixed this using the very crude paper shoved in method however this hasnt fixed the springyness its just made it possible to lock and unlock the phone if i use alot of force.

My question is it the button itself that needs replacing or something else?

or something else entirely?

I feel confident I can fix this myself as I work a lot with electronics being a product designer.

Looking forward to your responses and sorry for typos… was in a rush.
