Power button worn down

I have a playstation 3 model cechl. The power button is worn down. I'm not referring to the switch in the back, but the touch sensitive button one presses and the power light goes from red to green. The eject button is fine.

There is no circuit board. I can still push down to turn the console on, but it's getting to a point where it's harder and harder to do. This only happens with a cold boot.

I can turn the console on with the controller. Any ideas?
